Film(s) To Be Screened

Wet Grass

After a lazy teen neglects to mow his strict grandmother's lawn, he must fight to earn back her respect.


An Army Rising Up

Mississippi Delta high school students participate in an intensive filmmaking workshop in which they explore and document their communities’ connections to Civil Rights icons Emmett Till and Fannie Lou Hamer.


Bigger Matters

It's date night! When the age-old conversation of what a man's responsibilities are vs that of a woman heats up it is soon interrupted when Kelvin is notified that his son Brandon's safety is on the line at the hand of a police officer.


420

420 is an experimental, short silent film that tells the story of five black women who get together for a 'smoke session' on the rooftop of an apartment building to take a break from life.


But Tomorrow

On the first day of high school in Manhattan, Crystal’s eagerness to make an impression has unwanted repercussions.


#MoreLife

Makai's recipe for joy struggles to come together as he must confront old and new wounds on what should be the happiest day of his life.


Raised Up West Side

Chicago’s West Side epitomizes the violent, struggling city we see daily in the media. RAISED UP WEST SIDE peels back the layers, exposing the deep-seated segregation, food insecurity, and mass incarceration that continue to shape these predominantly Black neighborhoods. Following the harrowing, yet frequently inspiring plight of ex-offenders, social activists, and entrepreneurs working on the West Side, we witness the fierce tenacity required to change the narrative — and change lives.
