One day, her mother Kathryn takes Jo back to her rural village to spend the rest of her short life with her family. Against all odds and battling the time left her, the whole village takes it upon themselves to make Jo's last wish a reality: to make a film and star in it.

Welcome to The 15th Annual Fist Up Film Festival!
We believe watching a good film can change your life…
We believe some films are made to be discussed…

The Fist Up Film Festival presents films that are intended to create impact, inspire discussion and foster understanding. By placing emphasis on the connected experiences between global and local communities, The Fist Up Film Festival creates visual parallels between people’s lived experiences and stories from around the world.

Join us October 4-14th in the Bay Area, California. We believe that social justice films don't have to make the audience feel horrible about the state of the world. We focus on uplifting stories that show our power!

For 15 years our festival has been free for filmmakers to apply and free / donation based for our community to attend. When you make a donation on this website you are not guranteed a seat. It is first come first served, so show up early!
