The Sikh International Film Festival encourages independent film directors, producers, and writers to create innovative works that touch on Sikh themes and issues
. We search for films from America and abroad, from Sikh and non-Sikh filmmakers, many with socially conscious themes. Through our film festival, competition and annual gala, we also aim to provide a forum for ongoing dialogue between the Sikhs and other communities. And, importantly, we wish to promote respect for the inalienable human rights and dignity of all people.Jesus spoke of this long ago, Luke 11:9 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; Sikh, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
