Скачать или смотреть Steven Olikara at Sundance Film Festival

On January 19, Steven Olikara, President of Bridge Entertainment Labs, participated in An Antidote to Despair: How Independent Film is Driving Climate Action at the Sundance Film Festival. This panel, hosted by The Redford Center, was in line with Sundance's mission to combat bleak climate narratives and featured independent filmmakers and industry leaders who are championing hopeful stories that inspire action.

The discussion was moderated by Brenda Robinson, Grants Advisor and Head of Film, Finance, and Inclusion Strategies at HiddenLight Productions. Alongside Steven Olikara, the panel included Brian Newman (Founder, Sub-Genre), Daphne Matziaraki (Director, The Battle of Laikipia), Tracy Rector (Managing Director of Storytelling, Nia Tero), and Jill Tidman (Executive Director, The Redford Center).

One standout moment came from Steven Olikara, who emphasized the power of individual action:

"A mentor once told me something dangerous in a good way: if you think someone ought to do something, that person is probably you. In organizing and movement building, approach it with love and bridge-building. You can break down oppressive systems with a spirit of love and reinvent them to be more inclusive. That's needed now more than ever."
