BRIC is very proud to announce BRIC FLIX, a free film screening
and conversation series at BRIC Arts | Media House— offering premieres,
shorts, and web series projects, that reflect the excitement,
diversity, and creativity of Brooklyn.

In this installment of the BRIC FLIX
film series 'Interactive Media for Social Good', we've partnered with
Made in NY Media Center by IFP. The evening will feature a discussion
and exhibition of interactive media works featuring Luisa Dantas,
creator of the web documentary Land of Opportunity, Shannon Carroll, creator of the audio walking tour Southside Stories, and Ram Devineni, creator of the augmented reality comic book Priya’s Shakti
. The topics are diverse: a recent history of Williamsburg Brooklyn,
housing displacement in the wake of natural disaster, and creating
supportive community for victims of sexual assault. But, these works all
intrigue an audience with significant place-based and social issues,
providing further illumination on the topic, and inciting an audience to
action.

The discussion with the interactive creators about the
creative and technical challenges, and opportunities of their work will
be book ended by a chance for attendees to interact with the projects
themselves. Presented by the Made in NY Media Center by IFP, in
partnership with BRIC. The Made in NY Media Center by IFP is an
incubator space in Brooklyn developed with the NYC Mayor’s Office of
Media and Entertainment, where those working in media tech can create,
collaborate, and connect. nymediacenter.com
