Curated by Nora Jacobson. Freedom and Unity TV is a Vermont-based youth filmmaking contest that was initiated in 2014 by filmmakers from the collaborative film series, Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie. We asked young Vermonters, ages 14-25, to make short films about Vermont from their points of view and experience. Questions that were posed included: What contributions do young people make to their communities? What are their stories and dreams for the future? What are the challenges of growing up in Vermont? What aspects of Vermont history fascinate them? (For more information, visit: www.freedomandunitytv.net).
Nora Jacobson and some of the filmmakers will be present for a post-screening Q&A.
