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!
