The 5th Annual MACRO Lodge is moving forward at Sundance Film Festival with three days of programming set to champion diversity, inclusion, and people of color.

All of the lodge’s featured events will be virtual and will be held from Jan. 21-23. You don’t have to be a festival-goer to gain access as the events will also be open to the general public.
The events will feature appearances from some major talents including, Regina Hall, Sterling K. Brown, Eva Longoria, Rosie Perez, Glynn Turman, Keke Palmer, Sinqua Walls, Anna Diop, Coodie & Chike, Krystin Ver Linden, Nikyatu Jusu, Channing Dungey, and Tonya Lewis Lee.
Presented by Chase Sapphire, programming will also include events with ABC, Color of Change, DAZN, Lionsgate, Netflix, Vertical Entertainment and Roadside Attractions; and Warner Bros. Television.
