Description:
Reel Grrls presents “Story Time,” a screening showcasing short films produced by teen girl filmmakers from the Seattle area. The young women, ranging in age from 12 to 18, created seven videos in beginning and advanced video production programs at Reel Grrls, an award-winning Seattle nonprofit organization. Reel Grrls is the nation’s first after-school media and technology training program exclusively for girls.
The short films produced in Reel Grrls programs for beginning and advanced media makers tackle topics ranging from teen pregnancy to substance abuse to personal identity. “Thoughts in a Hijab” explores the young director’s debate about whether to continue wearing the veil after immigrating to the United States from Iran. “More Than a Pain in the Neck” is Reel Grrls’ first mockumentary; view the trailer at www.youtube.com/reelgrrls.
These films are made possible in part by Adobe Systems Inc., the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs.
Reel Grrls films go on to screen at film festivals around the world, including the Sundance Gen-Y Studio, the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Women’s Film Festival in Seoul, Korea.
The teen filmmakers will be in attendance and a question-and-answer session with the girls will take place after the screening.
“Story Time” will also include a screening of “Click Whoosh,” the short documentary produced by Reel Grrls instructors that won Best Film of the International Documentary Challenge at the Hot Docs Film Festival in Toronto in May 2008.
