With support from the California Arts Council, Re-Present Media will present Re-Take Oakland, a public education series centered on appreciating, advocating for, and creating short documentaries for public media that tell authentic personal stories of underrepresented communities. Our goals are to provide professional education to emerging filmmakers of color, empower community advocates, and engage audience members in cross-cultural understanding.
Our core programs include public events and screenings that promote personal storytelling in documentary film and nonfiction media, mentoring and filmmaker development, and field-wide advocacy and education at conferences and festivals.
