Ripples to Waves: The B Corp Impact Film Festival
Wednesday April 22, 2026 8:00am - 5:30pm CDT
The B Corp Impact Film Festival celebrates storytelling as one of the most powerful tools for driving positive change. This curated program of short and feature-length films, all produced by Certified B Corporations, B-Corp-aligned filmmakers, or mission-driven brands, showcases how creativity can move audiences from awareness to action. Each screening reveals how small ripples of purpose can become waves of impact, whether through climate action, fair work, justice and inclusion, or regenerative innovation.

The festival may be presented as a single 90-minute block or as a daily series of thematic showcases (“Climate Action,” “Fair Work,” “JEDI,” etc.). Each block concludes with a live filmmaker Q&A moderated by a B Corp leader to connect the films’ stories to the seven Impact Topics in B Lab’s new standards.

By translating business impact into human stories, this experience invites attendees to feel the heart of the movement, inspiring them to return home ready to tell their own.
