With support from the CAC, CFAER will present a series of free documentary filmmaking workshops for underserved Northeast LA youth. Led by professional filmmakers, the workshops will provide historically marginalized youth with hands-on instruction in filmmaking and the chance to create original short films centered on their experiences and identity. The films will be screened for the wider community at a dedicated film festival at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock.
CFAER presents arts and education programs year-round at the Center and throughout the community at no or very little cost. Programming includes concerts, readings, film screenings, and community artist collaborations, visual art exhibitions and an annual art auction, the NELA Music Series, children’s summer and winter arts camps, year-round children’s and adults’ workshops, and a youth animation program. CFAER’s educational outreach program, Imagine Studio, brings arts programming and local teaching artists into underserved Northeast LA elementary and middle school classrooms, providing free, standards-based arts instruction.
