The Heritage Film Festival is a community-based, volunteer-driven, free event that brings together short films of all genres from novice and seasoned filmmakers to celebrate independent media. Screenings, which are usually in Prince George's County, Maryland, are now virtual. This year's Festival is one month long (21 October - 17 November 2021). Admission to all events is free. Usually, we encourage audience members to bring non-perishable food items for donation to a local food pantry. Because this year's Festival is online, we encourage viewers to contribute food items or volunteer at a local food pantry.
