Mixed Roots Film & Literary Festival

The Festival is a fiscally sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts, a non-profit organization, celebrating stories of the Mixed experience. Each year the Festival brings together film and book lovers, innovative and emerging artists, and multiracial families and individuals for two days of workshops, readings, film screenings and live performance including music, comedy and spoken word.
Festival Co-Founders Heidi Durrow and Fanshen Cox met in New York a decade ago at an audition for a show about multi-racial people.  Both were sure that the other would ‘steal’ the role from the only other ‘blue-eyed, curly haired light-skinned’ girl.  When both were cast, they began a long and fruitful friendship, supporting each other as artists and through the various challenges they faced surrounding their search for identity on their own terms.
