The Margaret Mead Traveling Festival is now available for booking. This year, program themes include worker rights in China, Mexican-American migration, the evolution debate, and more.

As you may know, the annual Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival is the longest-running, premiere showcase for international non-fiction media in the United States. The Festival features a broad spectrum of cultural documentary, both in form and subject matter. Each year the Traveling Festival brings highlights from the Mead Festival to sites throughout the United States and abroad (museums, community and film centers, universities and colleges, festivals, public libraries, and more), providing access to innovative work from around the world.

The Traveling Festival is comprised of six thematic programs, each program approximately between 1.5 and 2 hrs, depending on length of films. Venues have the option of renting a full package (six programs, $1800) or a half-package (three programs, $900); this includes background and promotional information on titles, still images, preview videos for publicity purposes, and a guide for conducting film festivals and screenings. The presentation format is in video, in either VHS or DVD. The Traveling Festival can be rented for a weekend marathon or for up to six weeks.
