In 2020, the Detroit Narrative Agency created Radical Remedies, a rapid response initiative addressing the dual pandemic of COVID-19 and anti-Black racism. The project’s attempt to amplify community stories and build collective healing and power aligned with Scribe’s mission, and in solidarity Scribe launched Radical Remedies Philly in winter of 2020. Please join us for the premier screening of submissions specific to Philadelphia and the greater region. Each film beautifully responds to the question, “what do resilience, resistance, joy, grief, and collective care look like during this time?” Following the screening of submissions, we will be showing a preview of R.E.S.T. by Jon Appel and Philadelphia native Lamont Gibson. Radical Remedies films include Untitled 0.60s by Keyssh Datts, Dear Walter and Levitate by Annielille “Ani” Gavino and Jasmine Lynea, Magunita by Malaya Cassandra Gonzales Gavino Kollman, Jasmine Lynea and Annielille “Ani” Gavino, Oh, Land of the Sun by Ariel Goodman & Juan Carlos Marin, Digital Divide to Digital Equity by Nasya Jenkins and Big Picture Alliance, Autonomous Zone by Rat Porridge, Blossom by Tyson Skinker and Demi Mills, Just Have to Laugh by AhDream Smith, Mute by Teyana Stone, and When is Philadelphia by Darren Wallace.
