Community Documentation Workshop Screening

Back to Calendar

The community is invited to a Community Documentation Workshop Screening on Wednesday, June 12, beginning at 7pm at The Park Church, 208 West Gray Street, Elmira, NY.

This screening is presented by the ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes in partnership with The Park Church as part of their Meaningful Movie program and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments and snacks will be available. Q&A with the creators will happen following the video screening. Elmira College Assistant Professor of Anthropology Doc Billingsley will moderate the discussion.

About the Community Documentation Workshop:

This screening features four short documentaries made by local community organizations. The Community Documentation Workshop (CDW) equips grassroots organizations in our region with the skills and perspectives to document and present their own cultural traditions in ways that center their voices and perspectives.

This year’s videos are presented in partnership with Ancient Voices Media, Food for the Spirit, the Islamic Association of the Finger Lakes, and United Steelworkers Local 1000.

Thank you to project partners: Chemung County Library District MakerSpace, Chemung County Historical Society, Elmira College, and GO ART.
