Scribe is happy to announce that Street Movies! is back, and we currently accepting short film submissions from filmmakers for the 27th annual outdoor screening event series taking place later this year. We are looking for well-crafted, thought-provoking work of any genre, including family-friendly pieces. We screen a wide selection of documentary, narrative, experimental, animation works, and more. Filmmakers receive an honorarium if selected, and work may be screened at multiple sites throughout the series. Films should be 30 minutes or less in length. There is no submission fee to submit. Deadline to submit is May 10, 2024. Visit Scribe.org for more information!

As we wrap up another year at Scribe, we want to thank all of you who make this possible! We couldn't do it without you. For over forty years, Scribe Video Center has provided equipment access, ran educational workshops, programmed screenings, and distributed important digital media works. Your contribution will help us reach our goal of raising $40,000 by December 31, 2023. Learn more at scribe.org.
