IN THE LOOP Program of Success (ITL) is proud to partner with KIDS FIRST! Film Festival in celebrating its 30th anniversary with an incredible hybrid event celebrating films made by and for young people.
KIDS FIRST! is co-hosting film festivals with 10 partners in 10 cities nationwide – a hybrid of live and online events. IN THE LOOP kicks off with a 10 day festival September 16 through 26, followed by festivals in Nashville, New York City, Honolulu, San Diego and more.
Opening night, Thursday, September 16, features a virtual premiere of Amazon Studios’ My Name Is Pauli Murray, which takes a look at the life and ideas of Pauli Murray, a non-binary Black lawyer, activist and poet who influenced both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall. This documentary is a missing piece of history that amplifies the life of an African American female whose struggles pushed her to create everlasting change in our modern society and who stood up to segregation a decade before Rosa Parks.
The following nine days offer a stunning collection of shorts and features from indie and student filmmakers worldwide and are grouped by topics such as: Race Relations in a Diversifying Nation, The Outsiders, The Arts and the Artists Among us, Life Happens, Foreign Exchange and Insights, Celebrating Young Creative and Animation Celebration. Additionally, two features have standalone screenings followed with Q&A discussions with the filmmakers – 75 Degrees West by 11th grader Zachery Parrish on Sunday, September 19 and Quaranteened: The Musical from The Theater Bug from Seattle on Tuesday, September 21, 2021.
Two live private events include: Take Three, an opportunity for 30 aspiring and up-and-coming female filmmakers to engage with DC media professionals and learn more about KIDS FIRST! opportunities and Let’s Party: 30th Anniversary Celebration, a party to celebrate all that KIDS FIRST! is and continues to do to promote positive and educational media.
