MAYSLES YOUTH MEDIA FESTIVAL 2021

March 19th-April 2nd, 2021 - Virtually

“True community is based upon equality, mutuality, and reciprocity. It affirms the richness of individual diversity as well as the common human ties that bind us together.”
-Pauli Murray

Streaming free from March 19th to April 2nd are twelve films split into three programmatic themes: experiences of COVID-19, Social Justice, and Self-Discovery. These documentaries together explore the untold stories of underrepresented communities and interrogate concepts of a monolithic experience between those who are oppressed. The twelve short films delve into themes of struggle and hardship while also presenting informative statistics and visually captivating imagery. Submitted globally, the selected documentaries offer a wide variety of unique, young perspectives. We are delighted to showcase these carefully curated films!
