 Let's talk about the elephant in the room!
This year, UICF is dedicated to the theme " In Other People's Shoes." Creators from around the world are challenged to imagine themselves in other perspectives. To tell stories that are uncomfortable, or unnoticed. Specifically for the theme " In Other People's Shoes, " UICF is creating brand-new shows that explore challenging topics, focusing on gender, conflict, and identity— because laughter can disrupt, put things into perspective, and connect.
