Free Sunday Program: Video Screening: Scribe Video’s “Precious Places”
Presented by Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)
November 22, 2009
Scribe Video Center has collaborated with dozens of community groups to produce neighborhood histories. Precious Places is an opportunity for neighborhood residents to be the authors of their communities' histories. Experienced videomakers and humanities/social science consultants work with each participating community group to facilitate the documentary process, neighborhood residents conduct the research about the place, arrange for interviews with elders and other neighborhood subjects, and operate the cameras, sound, and lighting equipment themselves. The resulting video projects document a community’s past through a variety of techniques, including oral history narratives provided by neighborhood residents. The stories and memories residents share capture the life of the community and provide an opportunity for all city residents to become aware of the area’s unique neighborhoods. It also provides a chance to look at how development policies impact a neighborhood’s “precious places.” While some communities are thriving, others face uncertain futures. Producing a documentary videotape provides a chance to honor the local experience and to raise awareness about the richness of community histories.
