The Metamora Film Festival (MFF) is an event dedicated to exploring the complexities of the criminal justice system through the lens of cinema. The festival showcases a curated selection of documentaries, feature films, and short narratives that delve into topics such as incarceration, policing, legal reform, and restorative justice.
Whether you’re a film lover, justice advocate, or curious viewer, the Metamora Film Festival invites you to engage, reflect, and reimagine the future of justice.

Encouraging reflection and discussion on the causes and consequences of mass incarceration.
These films highlight how young people—often from marginalized communities—are impacted by harsh sentencing.
Screening films on this topic brings visibility to the systemic barriers that hinder successful reentry.
Films that explore this topic can challenge prevailing myths, reveal the overly broad and punitive nature of the system.
Janice M. Bellucci has been an attorney for more than 30 years. She founded Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL), a statewide non-profit dedicated to protecting the Constitution by restoring the civil rights of sex offenders and currently serves as President of that organization. In that capacity, Janice is challenging residency restrictions adopted by cities and counties which virtually banish sex offenders. In the recent past, Janice filed a series of 30 lawsuits in federal court that led to the eradication of proximity restrictions for sex offenders.
Founded on the belief that film can be a catalyst for social awareness and systemic change, the MFF highlights a diverse range of topics—including mass incarceration, wrongful convictions, racial disparities, restorative justice, policing, reentry, juvenile justice, and more. Through carefully curated short and feature-length films, we seek to educate, engage, and inspire both local and global audiences.
