Description

World Premiere Screening of short documentary films produced by filmmakers from the Youth FX Upstate Arts2Work Fellowship World Premiere Screening of short portrait style documentary films produced by filmmakers from the Youth FX Upstate Arts2Work Fellowship. These documentaries tell personal stories of people in the capital region, and illuminate the broad experiences of a multi-generational group of participants from grandparents, aunties, best friends, siblings, local artists, hip hop artists, socially conscious entrepreneurs, and lovers. Each film's unique narrative approach is reflective of the vision of the dynamic Arts2Work filmmakers behind the project. Upstate Arts2Work is a year-long, paid hands-on job training fellowship program for young adults across the Capital Region who are passionate about building careers as digital media artists. Formed by The Alliance, our national partner, this is a revolutionary blueprint for the future of work, and a new model of reform for the digital generation. Arts2Work provides access to creative careers for those who have historically been excluded from such opportunities, and the program is open to people ages 20-25 residing in the Capital Region who are not enrolled in college full-time, and are currently underemployed/unemployed. Our main goal is to help emerging artists of color secure sustainable career opportunities in the field of film and digital media production.
