Submitted by Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship

The International Corporate Citizenship Film Festival is now accepting video submissions.

The Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship's International Corporate Citizenship Film Festival is the largest film festival devoted exclusively to celebrating the work of corporate social responsibility (CSR) professionals, their companies, and programs. The eleventh annual Film Festival, presented by BBVA Compass, is now accepting submissions. Winners will be honored at the 2019 International Corporate Citizenship Conference, being held April 28-30, 2019 in Dallas, Texas.

The Film Festival is open to all companies regardless of size or location. To participate, an organization is asked to submit a short film depicting one or more aspects of a recent corporate citizenship initiative. Participants often use the festival as a storytelling opportunity for their signature programs; since the inaugural event in 2009, the Film Festival has received more than 520 submissions. Among last year’s winning entries were films that showcased impactful disaster relief efforts, the power of financial literacy and STEM education, and the responsibility of men to “Man Up” and support an end to domestic violence.
