Flicker Points

Our free film series for teens is back! This year, we’re showing three movies that show the power of the camera, asking the same question from different angles: what do we see when we really look, and what does the act of looking change?

Screenings are open to all ages and free for people ages 13-22.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) in partnership with the city council. We are grateful for the support of Councilmember Brooks-Powers.

Flicker Points is presented in partnership with Queens Community Justice Center of the Rockaways and the B.R.I.D.G.E. Family Enrichment Center. If you have any questions or if you are a teenager interested in getting involved, please email us at hello@rockawayfilmfestival.org.
