The Youth Art and Self-empowerment Project explores the issues of young people being tried and incarcerated as adults and the impact this practice has on youth, their families and their communities. Through interviews with youth, inside and outside the prison system, the film explores factors that push youth into this situation and the day-to-day impact of carrying a criminal record.

Renaissance on Sacred Ground is a documentary about the healing power of African cultural art forms, including music and dance, to transform the lives of everyday people. It tells the story of Ile Ife, the House of Love, an African cultural center located on Germantown Avenue in North Philadelphia and created by famed dancer choreographer, Arthur Hall. The young people who entered the doors of Ile Ife in the 1960s, drawn in by the sound of the African drum, over time became the members of the internationally known Arthur Hall Afro American Dance Ensemble.
Produced collaboratively by the alumni of Ile Ife/the Arthur Hall Afro American Dance Ensemble and young people from the Village of Arts and Humanities, which now occupies the same site, Renaissance on Sacred Ground looks at how a four decade tradition of cultural expression – rooted in African music and dance, has helped nurture and sustain a community. This documentary combines contemporary interviews, video journaling and extraordinary archival footage of performances from the Arthur Hall Collection and Ile Ife films.
The program will be preceded by short films produced by the young people participating in the Village Arts Challenge media program at the Village of Arts and Humanities.
