Work It Out
The students at New Utrecht High School were asked “What does peace mean to YOU?” The discussion that ensued was the inspiration for the BCCP Project Peace board and this video.
Freshman Friday, An Exercise in Shot Variety
The New Utrecht Video Club learned about shot variety (wide angle, medium shot, extreme close up were some) and tested out their new knowledge in this scenario in which Freshmen are confronted by upperclassmen.
Crown Heights, Then and Now
The New Utrecht documentary team investigates the events surrounding the Crown Heights riots, which occurred twenty years ago this year. They discover that the Brooklyn College Community Partnership was founded in part as a response to the violence, to promote inter-cultural understanding and peace, and to create dialogue within a community full of tension.
Hold My Hand
New Utrecht High School’s Project Peace Video Club walked around Besonhurst and Flatbush and filmed moments of beauty and random acts of kindness- people holding hands, hugging, laughing and helping each other out. Here is a video montage of those moments and some memories from this past year.
Behind the Scenes on the Set of “Crown Heights, Then and Now”
The sound and camera team, Susan and Elie!
2011 marks the 20 year anniversary of the Crown Heights Riots. The New Utrecht documentary team went back to Crown Heights to interview some of the residents to see how the neighborhood has changed since then. Here’s a behind the scenes look at the upcoming documentary, coming soon!
We braved the chilly weather to get our interviews!
The frist person we interviewed for the documentary remembered the riots well and gave us good first hand accounts of what happened.
The documentary team asked some diffucult questions such as, "Do you think race relations has changed since the riots?" But Dovid answered candidly and with great depth. He said he was only 2 years old at the time, but the aftermath of the riots and the racial tension still lingers in the neighborhood.
We happened to run into someone coming from the peer mediation center who had just come from a meeting about the 20 year anniversary of the riots~ what a coincidence!
