When Experimental Storytelling Provokes Social Inquiry

Sunday, January 22, noon–1:30 p.m.



Cinetransformer

500 Main St.



The New School hosts a conversation that explores storytelling forms that have impact beyond the screen. We'll discuss how both creative end products and the act of creation itself can address issues of social justice and inclusion. Faculty across various fields will share practices and illustrative examples from their work and invite attendees to consider using experimental techniques to conduct social inquiry and probe how nonconventional filmmaking can empower others. Presented by The New School
