ONWARD! The 70th Seminar, curated collaboratively by Janaína Oliveira, 
Carlos A. Gutiérrez, and Richard Herskowitz will take place June 26th to 
29th, 2025. https://theflaherty.org/2025-seminar 
<https://theflaherty.org/2025-seminar>In moments of great upheaval, can 
cinema provide fuel for a radical paradigm shift? What cultural momentum 
does the cinema offer us today? The very acts of making and watching 
non-fiction films are rooted deep in legacies of solidarity and 
resistance. How does this moment call on us to nourish those legacies 
and forge our own? Onward! is a call to move through obstacles with 
collective action. Onward! is the call of the artist, the activist, the 
doula, the hopeful, the grieving - the people in the midst of painful 
transition. Onward! is animated both by the urgency of change, and the 
patience to know that liberation must come, will come. Onward! embraces 
the battlefield as the terrain of greater possibility. Freedom is an 
ongoing state of insistence that is carried forward in each act of 
making, questioning, resisting, remembering. Onward! is to stay the 
course and trust in the process of change. Movement is not solitary. 
Onward! calls for collectivity, for curiosity, for entanglement, for 
hope, for solidarity across generations. Onward! is propelled by calls 
from the past, which too believed in the potency of the moment, and of 
all moments yet to come. Onward! celebrates coexisting and futurities. 
Onward! is the irresistibility of resistance. From June 26 to 29, people 
in Salaya, New Delhi, Warsaw, Porto, Lisbon, Bogotá, Toronto, New York, 
and Los Angeles will be able to gather daily to watch Seminar 
programming and participate in discussions with other local participants 
at official Seminar Pods.

The Flaherty upholds a tradition of non-preconception. The film programs 
are not announced in advance, but the schedule and participation details 
will be announced soon Offering an immersive program of screenings and 
carefully moderated conversations, the Seminar is an internationally 
recognized forum for field-building collective inquiry into the form and 
function of non-fiction cinema, encouraging the exchange of cinematic 
ideas across generations and cultures, and promoting the expansion of 
the limits of cinema itselfRegistrations for Pods are open now:
