In collaboration with The California State University Los Angeles Television, Film, and Media Department, join us for a screening of six student-directed short films featuring nonprofit organizations in California dedicated to environmental justice and historic cultural preservation.
The screening is the culmination of the semester-long Cal State LA course, Community Impact Media. This year’s students focused on environmental justice and historic cultural preservation through documenting the work of organizations: Human-I-T, City Plants, Nature for All, Los Angeles Conservancy, Asian and Pacific Islanders in Historic Preservation, and Latinos in Heritage Conservation.
Community Impact Media, a shared project between the university and the gallery, provides neighboring youth with hands-on media making and storytelling mentorship toward the production of video projects written and directed by the student filmmakers. It not only encourages students to reimagine the role of filmmakers as neighbors and citizens committed to meaningful social change, but also illustrates each organization’s commitment to engage and develop a positive, lasting relationship with their shared LA community.
This event is free to attend and open to the public, however, due to limited seating, reservations are recommended.
