Poplar Institute for Film Corp

Welcome to the Poplar Institute for Film (PIFF), a beacon of creativity and inclusivity in the heart of St. Louis! Established in the spring of 2020, PIFF is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to championing diversity and representation in the world of cinema and media. Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower marginalized communities, including Black, Latino, Asian, LGBTQ+, and others, by amplifying their voices and stories through the transformative power of film and media arts.

At PIFF, we believe that every individual's story deserves to be told and celebrated. By providing a platform for diverse voices to be heard and recognized, we strive to foster greater understanding, empathy, and connection among people from all walks of life. Through our programs, events, and initiatives, we aim to challenge existing norms and stereotypes while paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.

Join us as we embark on this journey of exploration, creativity, and transformation. Together, we can redefine the landscape of film and media, setting a new precedence for diversity, representation, and cultural exchange. Let's embrace the power of storytelling to build bridges, inspire change, and create a world where everyone's story matters. Welcome to PIFF, where diversity meets creativity, and where every voice has the power to make a difference.
