MoMI Teen Film Fest is being organized by the Teen Council, a working group of teenagers at Museum of the Moving Image. 

Words are powerful. They divide, hurt, celebrate, gather, label, strengthen, encourage, degrade, and kill; but they don’t define us. For our second annual Teen Film Fest at Museum of the Moving Image, the Teen Council presents films from teens from all boroughs who reclaim language prevalent in contemporary youth culture; deconstructing, defining, playing, and/or interpreting words that impact their lives.  

Following a screening and discussion in the Redstone Theater, there will be a reception with filmmakers in the Fox Amphitheater. 

Admission is free. Please RSVP by using this form. Tickets will be distributed first come, first served on the day of the event.
