Exhibition Info
Concrete Stories is a film festival for teens, organized by BRIC’s Youth Media Fellows. Concrete Stories aims to promote conversations around the power and potential of young people by showcasing authentic, entertaining, and diverse works. Youth Media Fellows gain skills and professional insight into the planning, curation, and promotion of a media festival. Fellows learn video production and video editing, hear from various guest speakers, and create promotional print material.
The 2024 BRIC Youth Media Fellows worked diligently to organize the 11th Annual Concrete Stories: BRIC Youth Media Festival event, held on May 30, 2024. BRIC congratulates the Fellows, the award winners, and all of the youth filmmakers who participated in the creation of the festival!
The works featured in this exhibition are a collection of short films, documentaries, drama, experimental, and animation shorts selected as the 2024 winners and rewarded with awards for best comedy, drama, animation, and documentary.
Thank you National Grid for sponsoring the Youth Media Fellows!

About BRIC Youth Education
For over three decades, BRIC has been a pioneer in providing exceptional art education to public school students throughout Brooklyn. BRIC’s Youth Education program is distinguished by the involvement of professional artists and media makers, who bring their individual professional practices into the classroom via in-school residencies that introduce new ways of learning through a project-based approach. Programs are tailored to the needs of each individual classroom and aligned to local and state educational standards. For more information, please email [email protected].
BRIC House is Brooklyn’s cultural living room: a 40,000 square foot multi-disciplinary arts and media complex where emerging and established artists can create work that deepens their practice and engages the diverse communities of the borough.
