Narratives from Around the World

Midday on WNYC | Sep 3, 2018

Billy Gerard Frank and Lydia Darly discuss creating the Nova Frontier Film Festival which takes place in Brooklyn from September 7 to 9. The festival showcases filmmakers and artists who focus on the Middle East, Latin America, and the African Diasporas. They also run a filmmaking lab that educates youth from underserved and underrepresented communities, building a new generation of media makers in Brooklyn. This year’s festival focuses on themes of immigration and identity.

This segment is guest hosted by Jenna Flanagan.
