Save the Dates: July 8–10 & 15–16. Five days of Windrider programs looking at the world through THE LENS OF HOPE.

We’re continuing our goal of bringing you thoughtful, inspiring films that motivate you to respond actively and constructively. Our “Lens of Hope” filter invites you to engage and listen as a filmmaker tells you a story, showing constructive responses to important issues. Through these films and the filmmaker conversations, we believe we can broaden understanding of ourselves and others, break down barriers of indifference, and encourage people to make a difference in our world.

How Does Windrider Select Films?

Every year, we attend independent film festivals across the country looking for films that explore our common humanity through THE LENS OF HOPE. The films we chose will take you on a journey of the heart, mind and soul. In a culture dominated by noise and dialogue that can be polarizing and divisive, Windrider seeks to create space for productive conversation.

We encourage you to purchase a Windrider Bay Area Event Pass for full access to our 2021 program, allowing you to explore topics or causes that may be unfamiliar at first, but will open your mind to a new and compassionate view of our world.

What was the Windrider Summer Film Series?

Our 2020 film forum looked a little different than in the past. Watch our video to learn more about the virtual livestream events that played every Sunday night from June 27th through August 16th and are now available in our Windrider Film Library.
