PPM Fest: Become a Media Literacy Badass (virtual)
Monday, October 25, 2021 - 6:30pm to 8:00pm

How do filmmakers explore ideas of care on screen?  In this fun, interactive workshop, we will screen a few short films that use different filmmaking and storytelling approaches and we will learn how to apply some key media literacy skills to our toolkit as media consumers. We will work together to use a critical eye to question what we watch and decode the hidden messages embedded in all media. The workshop will be held on Zoom.

Led by Gigi Hozimah. 
Facillitated by Laura Deutch & Gabe Castro.

We’re hoping this is the first in a series of screening/analysis workshops to sharpen our literacy skills while learning a bit about film history and theory.  Join us!
