Where I Live

Water separates the 5 boroughs in New York City. Manhattan is surrounded by 3 rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean controls our climate and weather patterns. How much do you know about the water where you live? Join us and investigate this question by making a film. Your film can make a difference for the future of our planet—share your voice!

Do you have a film 5 minutes or under about the water where you live? Send it to us.

Here On Earth: Youth Film Projects is a four month program for a select group of teen filmmakers from the USA and abroad. We are based in New York City and we offer a platform for exploring innovative approaches to the media arts, exciting collaborative ways of working while exploring environmental science. Our theme this year is The water where I live. The program consists of weekly meetings, screenings, field trips, and regular sessions with mentors, artists, and scientists. And you will have fun and make a friend in another country!

About

This is a place to learn, and it is a place to share. We want to nurture a positive relationship with the environment by focusing on cross cultural collaboration and creativity. The camera has always been a malleable tool that can smoothly bridge the sciences and the arts and share our “unique” points of view of the world around us.
