Guests will also experience a short documentary produced by the Summer 2025 cohort of Bout Mine I Matter, our youth filmmaking program that gives teens the tools, mentorship, and support to tell powerful stories through film. Our Summer 2025 cohort was powered by the DAO DATA CoLab, the People's Media Fund, the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, the United We Heal Film Festival, and individual donors.These are not just student projects. These are stories about the world young people live in, the issues they navigate, and the futures they imagine.Through 5 Shorts Project programs, youth gain hands-on experience in camera operation, interviewing, editing, producing, storytelling, and public presentation. Our work uses filmmaking as a vehicle for creative expression, social impact, career exploration, and community connection.Why This Event MattersPhiladelphia teens are often talked about, studied, judged, or spoken for.
