Love Thy Neighbor’Hood (2:00-3:30 pm)

What is a home? How do we view the communities that shaped us into who we are today? 

For Black History Month, Justice Film Festival has partnered with FIT students from the Black Student Union to present films that embody the spirit of: Love Thy Neighbor’Hood, an exhibition that illustrates the dynamics of home and what that means to each artist. From an outside perspective, many predominantly black neighborhoods are viewed as dangerous and scary places, where nothing good ever comes about. These filmmakers and artists are challenging that narrative through their work. The exhibit and films feature works of varying mediums created by people of a wide-range of backgrounds across the diaspora.
