This video documents Moonplay Cinema's Fall Experimental Film Workshop, a project organized by Jes Reyes and facilitated by Sabrina Ford. This six-week program offered an overview of the histories, contexts, and philosophies behind experimental film and the use of the medium as a liberatory tool within the many political countercultures of the oppressed majority. Through this exchange, a community of emerging artists was built.
