SUMMARY:Gary Smalls Gallery Project presents: Possession: Body\, Memory\, Home
DESCRIPTION:Closing Reception: Friday\, October 16\, 2026\, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM\n\n\nThis exhibit brings together the work of artists Sherry Shine\, Dejeonge Reese\, Linda Fernandez\, and Jihan Thomas and explores healing\, identity\, and self-possession through deeply personal visual language. Across painting\, mixed media\, abstraction\, and symbolism\, the artists transform experiences of grief\, motherhood\, migration\, mental health\, and cultural memory into spaces of reflection and resilience. Rooted in vivid color\, expressive gesture\, and layered storytelling\, Possession: Body\, Memory\, Home considers home not only as a physical place\, but as something carried within the body\, memory\, and spirit. Together\, these works affirm art’s power to hold vulnerability\, transformation\, and collective care in times of uncertainty. The Gary Smalls Gallery Project at Scribe Video Center is curated by Tamara Mason. \n \nCuratorial Statement by Tamara Mason: \nNavigating the expectations of being mothers\, educators\, storytellers\, and caretakers at a moment when the world felt as though it was collapsing inward\, this exhibition brings together four artists who transform personal and collective histories into sites of healing\, resistance\, and reclamation. Through bold chromatic intensity\, layered symbolism\, tactile processes\, and deeply embodied mark-making\, Jihan Thomas\, Sherry Shine\, DeJeonge Reese\, and Linda Fernandez articulate journeys shaped by care\, memory\, identity\, ancestry\, and self-possession. \n \nThe exhibition will be on view at Scribe Video Center from July 24\, 2026 – October 16\, 2026. The viewing hours will be 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Producers' Forum: The Great Experiment by Stephen Maing and Eric Daniel Metzgar
DESCRIPTION:The Great Experiment by Stephen Maing and Eric Daniel Metzgar \n(USA\, Mexico\, 2026\, 100 mins) \nWhat holds a people together when the story they tell about themselves begins to fracture? The Great Experiment is an epic poem in documentary form – a mirror held to an American nation at war with its own reflection\, asking not who is right\, but whether the experiment itself can survive. Filmed in striking black and white across the US over four consequential years\, from 2017 to 2021\, the film considers the results of what George Washington once called “our last great experiment” in democracy. \nStephen Maing is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker\, cinematographer\, and editor based in New York City. His most recent film\, The Great Experiment\, is an ambitious observational chronicle of one of the most volatile and perplexing eras of American history & identity. Maing’s films seek to expand the aesthetic form and limits of longitudinal nonfiction filmmaking. They are highly observational visual investigations of societal phenomena\, complex power structures\, and the fascinating individuals who challenge them. \n(scribe members receive a discount) \nJoin us !!

SUMMARY:Producers' Forum: Fire Through Dry Grass by Andres “Jay” Molina and Alexis Neophytides
DESCRIPTION:Fire Through Dry Grass by Andres “Jay” Molina and Alexis Neophytides \n(USA\, 2023\, 89 min) \nAs COVID-19 raged through nursing homes\, a group of Black and brown disabled artists decided to document in real time the harrowing experience of residents inside the Coler Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center. Co-directors Alexis Neophytides and Andres “Jay” Molina uncover a history of institutional neglect and abandonment\, where Jay lives along with his fellow Reality Poets\, a group of residents mostly gun violence survivors. Wearing snapback caps and Air Jordans\, Jay and the other Reality Poets don’t look like typical nursing home residents. They used to travel around the city sharing their art and hard-earned wisdom with youth. Now\, using GoPros clamped to their wheelchairs\, they document their experiences on “lockdown.” \nAlexis Neophytides is a documentary filmmaker and educator whose work centers around community and how we find meaning in people and place. She is the co-creator\, co-director\, and producer of Neighborhood Slice\, a public television documentary series that tells the stories of longtime New Yorkers who’ve held onto their little corner of the city despite fast-growing gentrification. Over the past decade\, she has developed filmmaking programs and taught students of all ages throughout NYC. She holds a BA from Brown University and an MA in Media Studies from The New School. \nScribe Video Members get a discount on screening \nJoin us !!

SUMMARY:Body of Work with Kelly Anderson:  My Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:BODY OF WORK \nA retrospective glance at films and filmmakers who have shaped our visual culture. Cost: $5.00 per evening \nThursday\, July 30 – Friday\, July 31\, 7:00 PM \nKelly Anderson is a Sunset Park\, Brooklyn-based documentary filmmaker whose most recent films are Rabble Rousers: Frances Goldin and the Fight for Cooper Square (with Ryan Joseph and Kathryn Barnier). Her 2012 film My Brooklyn\, about the hidden forces driving gentrification\, was broadcast on PBS’s America ReFramed. Kelly produced and directed Every Mother’s Son (PBS\, 2004\, with Tami Gold) about mothers whose children were killed by police\, which won the Tribeca Film Festival Audience Award and aired on POV. She also produced and directed Out At Work (HBO\, 2000\, with Tami Gold)\, which premiered at Sundance and won a GLAAD Best Documentary award. From 2015-17\, she co-chaired the cooperative distribution company New Day Films. Kelly is the Chair of the Department of Film and Media Studies at Hunter College (CUNY). \n  \n\n\n  \n \nMy Brooklyn by Kelly Anderson \n(USA\, 2012\, 76 min) \nThe film follows director Kelly Anderson’s journey\, as a Brooklyn gentrifier\, to understand the forces reshaping her neighborhood. The film documents the redevelopment of Fulton Mall\, a bustling African-American and Caribbean commercial district that – despite its status as the third most profitable shopping area in New York City – is maligned for its inability to appeal to the affluent residents who have come to live around it. As a hundred small businesses are replaced by high-rise luxury housing and chain retail\, Anderson uncovers the web of global corporations\, politicians\, and secretive public-private partnerships that drive seemingly natural neighborhood change. \n\n \nContact Email Address\ninquiry@scribe.org\n\n \nContact Phone Number\n215-222-4201\n\n \nLocation(s)\n\nScribe Video Center – 3908 Lancaster Avenue\, Philadelphia\, PA 19104 \n\n\n \nEvent Type\n\nScreening\nProducers’ Forum

SUMMARY:Screening: "You Don't Have to Go Home\, But..." by Aidan Un
DESCRIPTION:You Don’t Have to Go Home\, But . . .by Aidan Un (USA\, 2024\, 78 min) is an ode to dancing bodies\, a grimy love letter to Philly\, a story about what to do when the DJ has played the last song\, the club’s lights come on\, and you gotta go . . . somewhere. Following dancers at different stages of their artistic lives\, with legendary party Second Sundae as backdrop\, this film examines the possibility of spiritual fulfillment in a socioeconomic configuration that ultimately doesn’t value the practices that make us free. \nThe evening will also feature the next generation of storytellers\, opening with “Hop Hop Life”\, produced through Scribe’s Documentary History Project for Youth (DHPY). The event will also feature appearances by Second Sundae dancers who helped shape the scene\, joining Un for a post-screening discussion about the community\, history\, and influence of hip-hop culture.

SUMMARY:Producers' Forum: Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a screening of The Five Demands with Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller.\n\n\nThe Five Demands By Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller (USA\, 2023\, 74 minutes) \nIn April 1969\, a small group of Black and Puerto Rican students shut down the City College of New York\, an elite public university located right in the heart of Harlem. Through archival footage and present-day interviews\, The Five Demands is the riveting story of a student strike fueled by the revolutionary fervor sweeping the United States at the time. The strike soon turned into an uprising\, leading to an extended campus occupation\, canceled classes\, student arrests\, and the college president’s resignation. \nFilmmaker Andrea Weiss and film participant Rosalind McLymont\, will be joining for a post-screening discussion. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \nGreta Schiller (Producer/Director) is an internationally acclaimed documentary filmmaker and co-founder of Jezebel Productions.
