Do It Your Damn Self National Youth Film Festival

Do It Your Damn Self (DIYDS) National Youth Film Festival is the longest running youth-produced festival in the country, drawing over 800 youth and adults to public screenings every year. Founded in 1996 by six Cambridge teens who felt misrepresented in the media and wanted to do something about it, the festival is a champion of social justice in focus youth filmmakers who want to see change and make it happen. DIYDS!! is a product of the Community Art Center’s Teen Media Program. The Teen Media Program youth understood that, “if you want something done, you gotta do it your damn self.” Festival Information: After-School Screening Venue: Hibernian Hall Date: March 19th, 2020 Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM School Day Screening Venue: The Institute of Contemporary Art Date: March 20th, 2020 Time: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM Premiere Screening Venue: MIT Media Lab Date: March 21st, 2020 Time: 6:00 PM - 11 PM
