(Māori Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāi Te Rangi) THE LAB Cinetelechy Lab aims to provide a virtual curriculum and mentorship opportunity that serves participating youth filmmakers in building a network with one another while learning valuable skills in storytelling, critical thinking, and media literacy. The mentors will be able to have personalized one-on-one virtual meetings throughout the program to help uplift their voice and get their stories heard. The program will culminate with a live and virtual screening featuring films by the mentors along with the films created by that year's participants. CINETELECHY Cinetelechy is an ongoing film series started in 2019 by Atomic Culture and Blackhorse Lowe which takes place twice a year at the Admiral Twin Drive-in, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The series observes a distinct type of filmmaker, their motivation to re-examine and re-imagine narratives, the need for self-determination; having both a personal vision and the ability to actualize that vision from within. Each screening highlights a feature length film accompanied by film trailers, shorts, and video art highlighting indigenous, local, and emerging filmmakers. This series is supported by our 2021 TAF Arts Integration Grant Award. We also thank Criterion Collection for their generous support. Poster designed by @george.__.christ 20m
