What does it mean to create art during times of global conflict? Guest moderator Abiram “Abi” Brizuela leads a thoughtful and timely conversation on how filmmakers respond to war, displacement, and uncertainty through their work. Spanning both narrative and documentary filmmaking, the discussion explores the emotional challenges of telling these stories and the enduring role of cinema in helping audiences reflect, connect, and understand complex human experiences.

Joining the discussion:

- Cherien Dabis – Writer/Director (“All That’s Left of You”)

- Gregory Nava – Writer/Director (“El Norte”)

- Bao Nguyen – Director (“The Greatest Night in Pop”)
