Over this past year, EVC’s student filmmakers have tackled a wide range of issues including:
The effect of mortgage foreclosures on families in Queens;
Homophobia and the ongoing struggle for marriage equality;
The challenges faced by immigrant youth from war-torn Liberia; and
The impact of the last decade of wars on youth and their families.
We have taught video to nearly 700 students in 15 schools throughout New York City,and showcased their works in EVC’s 2nd Annual Youth Powered Video Film Festival. We are proud that EVC documentaries have been featured at the Sundance, Human Rights Watch, and Tribeca film festivals, and have been honored with over 100 awards, including an Emmy. EVC’s programs provide students with transformative experiences. While less than two-thirds of NYC students graduate in four years (2010), over 90% of EVC’s student filmmakers graduate from high school and many of them have gone on to college and careers in such media companies as CNN, The New York Times, the History Channel, CNBC, Nickelodeon, the Manhattan Neighborhood Network, the Hispanic International TV Network, and PBS’s “POV” program.
