DRIVE IN VERSION - BlaQ ArTed Short Film Fest Premiere

The BlaQ ArTed Short Film Fest, the culminating event of The East Bay Queer Healing Arts Center’s BlaQ ArTed Digital Storytelling Internship highlights the genius and innovation of Black Queer, Trans, and NonBinary transitional aged (18-25 years) artists by providing them with the equipment, guidance, and access to create short films that authentically represent who they are and the issues of importance to them. In the films being screened throughout this festival, the issues addressed include teen homelessness, body-shaming, misogynoir, Black American identity formation in an Anti-Black society, confronting transphobia, and fostering youth resilience.

The Fest, featuring the films of 9 Black Queer Trans and Nonbinary emerging youth filmmakers, will kick off with an outdoor drive-in premiere screening and filmmaker Q+A on Sunday November 22, 2020 at 5pm at Lake Chabot Space + Science Center. The filmmakers will be available to enjoy each other’s films, engage audience questions, and cheer one another on!  Tickets are offered via sliding scale from $10 to whatever you'd like to offer in support of our programming.
