Street Movies!

Thirteen years ago, inspired by outdoor screenings at African film festivals and the 1970s Philadelphia Street theater, Scribe created Street Movies! Now a summer tradition across the city, neighbors gather, lawn chairs and blankets in hand, to enjoy drive-ins without cars. This year’s exciting line-up of animated, documentary, experimental and youth-produced films focuses on environmental justice, immigration, ending violence in our communities, sustainable foods, and urban green spaces.

The organization should have a strong presence in their neighborhood and should be able to articulate subjects of interests and/or issues the community would like to address through films. Scribe proposes a film program that is selected by a screening committee of community members in the neighborhood. Scribe supplies the films and equipment needed for the Street Movies event!
