CineFAM led a 5 hour (including lunch break and tour of UofT campus) program, and were pleased to present a panel discussion that included CineFAM Coordinator and filmmaker Maya Bastien, with filmmakers Elizabeth Mudenyo, Toni Clarke.
The panel discussion included a talkback with the high school students.
Afterwards, the CineFAM filmmakers led breakout groups with the students where they were able to offer one on one mentoring and advice to aspiring media artists.
Leaders of Tomorrow (LoT) provides an intensive, engaging series of informative talks on a range of subjects connected to youth and the Black experience.
The 2017 edition ‘Women Leaders of tomorrow’ featured young, emerging women creators of color who had participated in the CineFAM program who shared their path to success. Students felt inspired, expanded their network, asked questions related to their post-secondary education path and much more.
