THAT'S A WRAP!
THANKS FOR BEING PART OF IT

THAT'S A WRAP, folks!

What an incredible festival it was — one full of love, reflection, courage, togetherness and ILLUMINATE magic...

11 life-affirming films, 11 filmmaker Q&As, 55+ filmmakers, speakers, and industry guests, 3 music performances, 8 special events and 4 luminary tributes... and soul transformation...

The festival enjoyed our highest-ever number of passholders, higher-than-expected post-pandemic attendance, and a worldwide audience.

Thank you to our in-person and global virtual audiences, our filmmakers, industry guests, speakers, sponsors, donors, members, staff and volunteers for making it a festival to remember.  We hope you were inspired, transformed and left ready to shine!
