Join YBCA artists in residence SF Urban Film Fest for Bayview is Alive: Film Screening & Panel, featuring four short films based on historic murals highlighting the Bayview’s everyday heroes and a new short film by Shantre Pinkney celebrating a recent night of community engagement in the Bayview. The screenings will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Bayview community leaders Meaghan Mitchell (Executive Director, Imprint City), Nate Watson (Executive Director, Public Glass), Divali Ramkalwan, (Director of Housing and Anti-Displacement, Young Community Developers), Felipe Riley, (longshoreman; son of the late Lenora LeVon), Marissa Bergmann (art teacher, MLK Middle School), and Amita Graham (certified nurse midwife; daughter of the late Santie Huckaby), to discuss initiatives needed to ensure the vitality of the neighborhood that is so important to the city of San Francisco. The discussion will connect Bayview’s historic and current importance to the city’s social, economic and cultural life as a whole.
Before you attend the event, watch the short documentary Point of Pride directed by Dimitri Moore which provides invaluable context and history on the activism history in the Bayview.
