New Works Produced at Scribe
Central to Scribe’s workshops is the creation of new work. This programs features recent videos completed by participants in our 14-week production workshop.
In Ethel Paris’ Rank and File Sisters (2007, 9 min) women recount their experiences as members of the Black Panther Party in the 1970s and how that time influences them today.
Ife Williams’ Africa is Not Zoo (2007, 14 min) focuses on game parks in Southern Africa and how they have displaced the local populations and given animals preferential treatment over people.
Boone Nguyen’s Contested Terrains (2007, 9 mins) exposes disconnects between racist perceptions and the actual use by local Asian immigrant communities of Mifflin Square Park in South Philly, an important gathering place for the city’s Cambodian and Laotian residents. But some residents associate their presence with crime, violence and contamination.
