SUMMARY:Street Movies! Undercover with Brewerytown-Sharswood Neighborhood Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Free community-centric screening series bringing independent short films and videos to vibrant public spaces throughout Philadelphia\n\n\nScribe and Brewerytown-Sharswood Neighborhood Coalition present Street Movies! Undercover\, a film screening and performance event on Friday\, May 30th. Join us at Celestial CDC (2800 W Thompson St) for a curated screening of short films about local history in Brewerytown-Sharswood\, and the power of community organizing. Hosted by BSNC’s Sunshine Unlimited team and featuring an opening dance performance by Shirladelphia Classics. \n \nAll Street Movies! Screenings are free\, open to the public\, and family-friendly. \n \nFilm Program: \n \nWalls and Doors: Inspirations From Our Elders (Directed by Jubilee School\, 2008\, 23 Minutes): Students of the Jubilee School have been collecting oral histories and tales of courage and resistance as told to them by their community elders. In Walls and Doors: Inspirations from Our Elders\, the elders are both witnesses and creators of under-told parts of history. Making this video has transmitted a legacy from one generation to the next and given the Jubilee youth a sense of the power of their voices and ability to create change. In this film\, students interview members of the Freedom Fighters\, who successfully desegregated Girard College in the 1960’s. \n \nAthletic Recreation Center – The Jewel of Brewerytown (Directed by Brewerytown Sharswood Community Civic Association\, 2007\, 9 Min): Baseball and Brewerytown have an illustrious history: the famed Oakland A’s baseball team originally hailed from this section of North Philadelphia. Known as the Philadelphia Athletics\, the team was based in the neighborhood in the late 1800s. When they departed out-of-state\, the Athletic Recreation Center was founded at the team’s former site. With a rich tradition of community-based sports and recreation\, the Athletic Recreation Center has been a central feature of the Brewerytown neighborhood for over a century. Boxing\, swimming\, women’s softball\, and basketball have thrived at the center along with its hallmark\, baseball. This portrait video features the reflections of community residents who utilize the center\, from young little-leaguers to senior-aged basketball players who still utilize the center after fifty years. As the Brewerytown section experiences a “growth spurt” of home building and small business development\, the Athletic Recreation Center promises to continue to be a “jewel” in this North Philadelphia neighborhood. \n \nChange the Name (Directed by Cai Thomas\, 2022\, 19 Minutes): An intimate portrayal of Black youth organizing on the west side of Chicago\, Change The Name follows a group of 5th graders from Village Leadership Academy as they embark on a campaign to rename Stephen A. Douglas Park after freedom fighters Anna Murray and Frederick Douglass. Over the course of the three-year grassroots campaign\, the students tackle bureaucratic Chicago Park District systems\, underestimations of their capacity to make real change\, as well as a pandemic and global uprising. \n \nGirard Avenue – A New Destination by West Girard Community Council (2005\, 10 Min): Girard Avenue at 27th Street is a vibrant neighborhood shopping district featuring a plethora of small\, locally-owned businesses. So it was no surprise that neighbors banded together to oppose the planned building of a McDonald’s fast food joint in 2002. The neighbors argued that they wanted to buy local\, and that what the community really needed was a supermarket.
