Join Scribe Video Center and the Institute of Contemporary Art at Penn to celebrate new works from Scribe’s 2023 Documentary History Project For Youth program. Each year, youth participants create short documentary films as a way to explore some aspect of the social, political, and cultural history of Philadelphia. This year’s films explore “Hidden Histories of Philadelphia”, specifically using the documentary to allow the youth participants to uncover little-known events and occurrences in the long history of Philadelphia that have a contemporary relevance and significance. Filmmakers include: Bernard Cross, Carlos Carmona, Freedom Murray, Kamani Bright, Kameron Palmer, Kenna Augustin, Khalea Robinson, Malaya Ulan, Mira Khurana, Natalie Margasak, Olivia Gavin, Shelby Allen, William Xavier Cloud, Christian Watts.
