STILL HERE
STILL HERE
Filmmaker: Mariah Barrera
STILL HERE, a profoundly personal film about a Latino family in the Midwest, tells the story of three brothers whose coming of age was stained by violence, poverty, and prison. Through first-person recollections, the Barrera brothers confront childhood trauma and the compounding loss of freedom. But this isn’t a story about hopelessness — it’s an intimate exploration of a love that endures decades of separation. A love that has kept these brothers together now, and indefinitely. Directed, written, filmed, and edited by Mariah Barrera, the daughter and niece of the protagonists, STILL HERE is a revealing, raw, and powerful portrayal of a family whose story is shared through the filmmaker’s lens.

CHANGE THE NAME
CHANGE THE NAME
Filmmaker: cai thomas
An intimate portrayal of Black youth organizing on the west side of Chicago, Change The Name follows a group of 5th graders from Village Leadership Academy as they embark on a campaign to rename Stephen A. Douglas Park after freedom fighters Anna Murray and Frederick Douglass. Over the course of the three-year grassroots campaign the students tackle bureaucratic Chicago Park District systems, underestimations of their capacity to make real change as well as a pandemic and global uprising.
