IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0CFS/IPH is committed to keeping cinema accessible, affordable, and informative for the public. This is primarily done through community-oriented events such as the Community Impact Film Series (CIFS) and Indie on Wheels (IoW). CIFS is an on-going free event series that rotates on issues the community is facing. In 2025, these subjects included: human trafficking, womens health, environmental justice, mental health, immigration reform, animal welfare, invisible/visible disabilities, and housing insecurity/homelessness. Each CIFS event includes a film screening, panel discussion, resource fair, and some form of activation (volunteer opportunity, movement class, artistic reaction, etc.). IoW is a film series in which IPH removes the barrier of transportation by bringing movies out into the community. Most of these events occur in libraries, rec centers, and public spaces due to ASCs Culture Blocks Grant support. In 2025, IPH presented 12 IoW events that are free to the public.
