SHORT TAKES ON HEALTH & JUSTICE: First Fridays Film Series @ Hunter College

FIRST FRIDAYS at Hunter/East Harlem - A Film and Dialogue Series on Health and Social Justice

PRIMEROS VIERNES en Hunter/El Barrio - Una Serie de Películas y Diálogo sobre Salud y Justicia Social

Short documentaries produced by students from the CUNY School of Public Health and Department of Film and Media Studies - Integrated Media Arts MFA Program explore the role of the state, of stigma, and of commercial interests in shaping health. Whether the issue is war-time exposure to deadly chemicals, a neighborhood’s food infrastructure, or the lasting devastation of a super-storm, the filmmakers highlight the role of the community in (re)claiming health and demanding justice.

Filmmakers: Teofilia Acheampong, Karen Binger, Liz Clarey, Makia Harper, Dawn Jacob, Uki Lau, Kayoko Nakamura, Christopher Nostrand, Phung Tran-Khamphounvong, Diana Quinones Rivera, Samantha Riddell, Bryan Mark Urbsaitis, Jing Wang, Claudia Zamora.

Shorts will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers.

Event is free, and open to the public, but please reserve a space on-line!
