The Movies & Meaning festival is a beautiful addition to the Asheville community: an exploration of creativity, community, and the common good. It takes place February 21-23, and features screenings, conversations, and other activities all centered on how to learn and share a better story, contributing to a better world.
This year the festival will be showcasing movies that speak profoundly about radical nonviolence, creative spirituality, and the joy of being alive even amidst difficult circumstances. Special guests include beloved author Kathleen Norris, three time world poetry slam champion Buddy Wakefield, and justice doula Micky ScottBey Jones.
We love the MKP community and want to offer a massively discounted registration fee. The standard registration fee is $179 for the weekend, but anyone affiliated with MKP can register on a pay-what-you-can basis, with a very low suggested fee of $79 or $20 per screening. The standard registration fee for the whole weekend is $179, but you can register on a pay-what-you-can basis here with a very low suggested fee of $79 for the weekend or $20 for a single segment*. If those amounts are beyond your means for now, contact us to learn more about payment plans or to register to pay-what-you-can-afford at the event itself.
* Single segments usually include one screening + a guest performance or Q&A, and are Friday 4-10pm, Saturday 9.30am-12.30pm, 2.30-5.30pm, 7-10pm, and Sunday 9.30am-1pm. End times are approximate. The festival takes place on Friday and Saturday at the Diana Wortham Theatre, and on Sunday at the Fine Arts Theatre, both on Biltmore Avenue in Downtown Asheville.
