The Media That Matters Film Festival is the premiere showcase for short films on some of the most important recent world issues. From battling health care to day laborers to the bottled water controversy, the jury-selected collection represents the work of a diverse group of independent filmmakers, many of who are under 21. The films are equally diverse in style and content, with documentaries, music videos, animations, experimental work and everything else in between. What all the films have in common is that they spark debate and action in 12 minutes or less.
