HIFF is thrilled to welcome internationally celebrated Artemis Rising Foundation as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s festival, which will expand across two weekends this fall: October 4-14, 2024.
Led by founder and CEO Regina K. Scully, Artemis Rising Foundation is dedicated to supporting media, film and education that transform our culture and challenges the status quo. The foundation champions powerful stories about some of the most important social justice issues of our time—including mental health, trauma recovery, addiction, sustainability of our earth, and personal empowerment. Ms. Scully has helped produce hundreds of the most impactful documentary films of the past two decades. These have affected meaningful changes to legislation & policy, education, corporate protocols and cultural norms across all sectors of society.
