Held at the historic Cinema Village theater (22 East 12th Street, NY, NY), the Socially Relevant Film Festival (SRFF) will be running a slate of films to give you a new perspective on life around the world. Running March 16 to the 22nd, the SRFF will show over 70 works, including narrative features, documentaries, and shorts. The festival opens with Lou Andreas-Salomé: The Audacity to be Free directed by Cordula Kablitz-Post and about the life of the controversial 19th century European intellectual, the first female psychoanalyst, and her reverberations into the lives of Friedrich Nietzsche and Paul Rée.

Utilizing Samsung Gear VR, the SRFF will also be screening a series of VR/360º films that will immerse viewers in the world of a toy scuba diver (Down to the Plastic Ocean), a slum on the outskirts of Nairobi (My Beautiful Home), the forests of Brazil (Our Nature - Honey Production), and more.

Festival Founder and Artistic Director Nora Armani says "We are proud to be able to support filmmakers who not only tell stories about socially relevant topics, but also filmmakers who push the boundaries of the artform and who take storytelling into the 21st century and beyond.”
