Over the course of the fellowship, Youth Media Fellows meet once a week in a group of ten of their peers with the guidance of BRIC staff. The fellows determine the theme of the festival, manage the call for entries, produce marketing materials (both video and print), select the festival films, promote and host the event to create a free public screening. The festival takes place on Thursday, May 27, 2021 at BRIC House.
