In collaboration, Diasporic Film Festival, Askkanwii Film Production & La victoria Healing Kitchen present the 2026 Diasporic Film & Food Series!

Proudly shown only at the People’s Building, this event series brings together multiple art forms for an engaging cross-cultural evening of film, food, and discussion to share and preserve our global cultures.
