Welcome to the International Social Action Film Festival Venues and Salon

Welcome to our new International Social Action Film Festival interactive site. We are eager to hear from any and all who have attended one of our venues, or who might be interested in hosting either a regular or Salon venue. If you are interested in registering to host a Salon venue you can do so at our web site:.

We are also scheduling opportunities for social action organizations and universities interested in hosting a Salon Venues to have our founder and executive director, Ron Schultz, speak and screen the films at your event. If you are interested in the details regarding making this arrangement, you can contact Ron directly at rschultz@isaff.org.

What you will find on this site are opportunities to join groups composed of social action organizations with similar interests and needs as well as connect with filmmakers who might be interested in turning your organization's story into a compelling video narrative. It will also be a place for filmmakers to share their stories about working with social action organizations and the challenges and successes that go along with those endeavors.

We want this to be a place for lively and vital discussion. As well as a location where the latest news on our film festival venues and salons can be found. Our first virtual world festival salon will be in Second Life on June 5th, 2009. Please see events for more information. Thank you.

Welcome. We look forward to your engaged involvement.
