The festival is in-person for the first time in two years, featuring 26 films, many by veterans and about military service and the veteran experience.
Silvio Pedri’s personal World War II archive in his home office in Rock Springs, Wyom., June 2018.is in person. The festival originally started in Washington D.C., but it’s been in San Diego for seven years.
This year it features 26 films, many by veterans and about the U.S. military. For filmmakers, it’s a chance to reach a specific audience, said Jack Youngelson, director of"HERE. IS. BETTER," which focuses on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. “The important thing for us is to do exactly what the festival is doing to reach veterans,” Youngelson said. “To reach members of the military directly to provide a safe space in which people can watch this film and begin a conversation, hopefully national conversation, because I think it's so critically important.”
Youngleson’s film follows a group of veterans as they try to put their lives back together after being diagnosed with PTSD, which sometimes carries a stigma.
