Queen City Film & Television Workshop Presents:
SCREENTALK NJ | Free Film Screenings & Filmmaker Chats (season 2, episode 2)
Join us for this PRIDE month celebration for two short films addressing inclusion and acceptance:
The second installment of SCREENTALK NJ will feature 3 short films addressing acceptance, inclusion and self discovery in acknowledgment of Pride Month which is celebrated every June nationwide.
The featured short films tackle issues that may ring familiar and even parallel to the lives of many who identify as lgbtq however the projects also access mainstream issues and themes meant to impact everyone regardless of sexual orientation or gender. The projects to be screened include Her : A Micro Series written by Angie Jackson of Atlanta and directed by Brigid Turner, Raw Materials directed by Soessia Nixon and Tough by Newark based filmmaker Alfonso Johnson.
The talkback panel immediately following the screenings will be moderated by Newark filmmaker and lgbtq activist Erby Beauvil.
Screetalk NJ is a free film screening and filmmaker meet and greet held each month from May - September at Plainfield Public Library. Films featured are produced by underrepresented filmmakers from Black, Latino, Asian,Women and LGBTQ communities. All films are curated to focus on issues and perspectives that will engage the audience, evoke thought and provocate change. Each screening is followed by an intimate fireside chat / q&a to help attendees gain further insight, inspiration and understanding of the filmmaking process and the vision behind the work. Each session is approx 2 hrs. Filmmaker Meet and Greet immediately follows the screenings.
