Exhibition Info
Concrete Stories is a film festival for teens, by teens, hosted at BRIC House as part of our 2025 Youth Takeover event on May 15. From May 16-August 3, 2025, the films showcased at the festival will be on view at BRIC House alongside other youth exhibitions.
Concrete Stories, curated by BRIC’s 2025 Youth Media Fellows, aims to promote creativity from the youth and showcase their power and potential. It showcases authentic, entertaining, and diverse works across all genres by New York City youth filmmakers. Awards will be given to films across different categories. The festival is run by teens and gives a platform to the creative minds of the youth. It’s important for people to express themselves and create community. Our goal is for filmmakers of all ages to be represented.
