The Solidarity in
Narrative‍

2026 Sundance Film Festival

Presented by: 

Level Forward & 
‍Population Media Center

Saturday, January 24, 2026
7:00 - 10:00pm
The Park

When a community is under attack, stories fight back. Inspired by our films and projects, we believe terms like sisterhood and motherhood are VERBS, powerful calls-to-action to protect, uplift, and most importantly, CARE for one another. In other words, sisterhood is for everyone. So then, how can we become stronger practitioners of solidarity through narrative?

Get ready for “A Lagos Night in The Mountains!”

This multimodal storytelling experience will empower filmmakers, producers, financiers, distributors, agents, and brands with a community-building night of new relationships,  tools, language, and tactics for a resurgent cultural force that leaves no one behind and centers independent creative voices.
