The Breakthrough Health Film Festival at Tulane University is an inspiring showcase of storytelling through film that promotes health and wellness, aiming to spark conversations, foster understanding, and inspire action towards a healthier society for all. Films and post-screening conversations will shine a light on human stories from community builders, advocates, filmmakers, producers, and artists to broaden our perspective on the challenges and triumphs shaping our understanding of health and well-being today. These voices offer fresh insights into the social and systemic issues impacting our communities.

Each day of the festival will highlight a specific theme: "Movement Makers," "The Power of Choice," and "The Power of Storytelling." Films and shorts that resonate with these powerful themes will be showcased, creating a meaningful experience for all attendees.

Additional shorts to be announced soon.

Presented by the Tulane Health Equity Institute, Partners for Advancing Health Equity, and Tulane Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

Co-sponsored by Tulane Digital Media Practices, Tulane University Libraries, The Roger Thayer Stone Center for Latin American Studies, and The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
