MORE INFORMATION

Presented online in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Art. Please join us to celebrate new works from the 2020 Documentary History Project for Youth. Examining the broad definition of “leader”, this year our young filmmakers have applied their talents to explore and document the many ways leadership manifests across the city of Philadelphia. 

Turn your documentary idea into a workable shooting script. This workshop covers research, developing and visualizing ideas, scripting and storytelling techniques. Participants must submit a one-page description of their project prior to the first session.

Midnight Oil chronicles the controversial last days of the now-shuttered Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery. The film follows refinery worker and first-time filmmaker, Bilal Motley, as he struggles to reconcile his love and kinship for his colleagues, and the growing awareness of the surrounding communities of color long affected by the refinery and their on-going fight for environmental justice.

An abandoned burial space, once owned by the historic Mother Bethel AME church, where more than 5,000 Black people were interred starting in 1810, was discovered. This is both a story of the struggle to reclaim the overlooked history of Black people in colonial Philadelphia, but also a story of the organizing, coalition building, and strategy employed by community members intent on preserving and memorializing what they termed as, "the ancestors of the African Diaspora.”
