Justice4Reel Film Festival: Accountability & Community Impact
June 26, 2026 to June 28, 2026
Part of: Justice4Reel Film Festival
Justice4Reel is a curated, public film and arts festival scheduled for June 26–28, 2026, at the Ortona Arts Hub in Edmonton. Designed to bridge the gap between abstract human rights and our lived local realities in the heart of Alberta, this three-day journey fosters reflection, shared dialogue, and coordinated civic action.
1:00 pm | Doors Open: Community gathering and networking. (in person only)
1:30 pm – 2:00 pm | Opening Reception & Performance: A soft opening featuring a performance to energize and prepare the audience for the afternoon's focus.
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm | World Premiere Screening: Unanswered: A Failed Call to Justice: In 2024, the Safer for All documentary sparked a provincial conversation on community safety. This year, Justice4Reel is honored to host the premiere of its powerful follow-up, Unanswered: A Failed Call to Justice. The film centers on the harrowing experience of Mathios Arkangelo and the resilience of his family seeking accountability after a fatal police encounter. Moving beyond the headlines, Unanswered meticulously examines the systemic failures of oversight bodies and the transformative power of community organizing. Join us for the screening and a high-level dialogue on institutional reform, the future of policing technology, and collectively redefining safety for all Albertans.
