Learn more at scribe.org Theme: Celebrate Juneteenth with short films on Black Music and Voting Rights. Celebrate Black Music and Civil Rights History this Juneteenth. Films: Total Run Time: 69 MINUTES Songs of Black Folk (USA / 2025 / 27 MIN) Dir. Haley Watson and Justin Emeka Leading Black musicians come together for a groundbreaking Juneteenth concert in the Pacific Northwest, creating a historic moment that paves the way for future generations of Black artists. A Concerto Is a Conversation (USA / 2021 / 13 MIN) Directed by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers Kris Bowers is one of Hollywood’s rising young composers. At 29, he scored the Oscar-winning film “Green Book” (2018), and this year he premiered a new violin concerto, “For a Younger Self,” at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. For all that success, though, he says that as a Black composer, “I’ve been wondering whether or not I’m supposed to be in the spaces that I’m in.” In Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers's "A Concerto Is a Conversation," Bowers traces the process of breaking into new spaces through generations of sacrifice that came before him, focusing on the story of his grandfather Horace Bowers. As a young man, he left his home in the Jim Crow South, eventually ending up in Los Angeles. Encountering discrimination at every turn, he and his wife, Alice, nevertheless made a life as business owners. Today, their legacy lives on through their family and community in South Los Angeles, where a stretch of Central Avenue was recently designated Bowers Retail Square — in case any question remained about whether it’s a place they belong. At the End of the World (USA / 2026 / 7 MIN) Directed by Lanaa Dantzler Teenage Yvette Jones learns how to practice love as an act of justice over the course of a summer in Wildwood, New Jersey. Crooked Lines (USA / 2018 / 11 MIN) Dir. Monica Berra, Yoruba Richen, and Jacqueline Olive Meet two women fighting against race-based gerrymandering in North Carolina: Val Applewhite, a plaintiff in a landmark Supreme Court case, and Moon Duchin, a mathematician who empowers organizers to use data to advocate for fairly drawn electoral maps. The Black Belt (USA / 2016 / 11 MIN) Dir. Margaret Brown In 2015, the state of Alabama closed 31 DMVs across the state. Many of these closures occurred in the Black Belt, a predominantly African-American region, directly impacting voter enfranchisement in a state that requires photo IDs at the polls.
