Film Topics
Special Guest Speaker/Film Presenter
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.
About The Festival
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.
