Justpeace Film Lab (2)

  • Katie Murphy Amphitheater at FIT 227 W 27th St. New York United States (map)

Justpeace Film Lab hosted by unRival Network

Justice Film Festival and unRival Network are excited to announce the launch of the Justpeace Film Lab for presenting filmmakers and FIT students, on Friday, March 3, and Saturday, March 4, from 2-3 pm. 

Story is at the core of who we are and how we understand ourselves. The people who raised us, the places we’ve been, our suffering, our success, our chosen communities—those people and experiences exist in an unfolding narrative for each of us. This lab gives us a chance to meet, to share our stories, and to move forward together on our journeys as storytellers who long to create a better world for all.

Saturday. Session II featuring Tyler Huckabee. 

The Lab digs in with the co-creation of an art installation. We’ll explore complexity and contradiction in a safe space while collaborating and improvising to create an art piece representing the stories, values, and hopes which live inside each of us as humans and artists.

Tyler Huckabee is a news and pop culture writer who specializes in film, TV, music, comic books, and religion. Tyler has profiled people like Lupita Nyong'o, Ryan Reynolds, and Aubrey Plaza, among many others, for publications such as the Washington Post, RELEVANT, Fathom Magazine, Bright Wall Dark Room, and IGN. You can keep up with his writing on Twitter @TylerHuckabee. 


We’d love to have you at each session, but they are structured independently. Attending one is better than none!
