The films are the heart of the festival (see the At-A-Glance schedule), but the Better Cities Film Festival take it beyond the screen. Better Cities Film Festival is an opportunity for the community of people who work on making our cities, towns, and neighborhoods better (community workers and activists, placemakers, planners, architects, developers, artists, entrepreneurs, government leaders) to come together to celebrate cities, experience their nooks and crannies, learn from each other, and have a lot of fun.  These talks, tours, and social events are the festival experiences we call More Better.
