Now the group must decide whether to trust the approaching beings or prepare for a fight that could change the fate of the universe forever. \n\n\n\nThe Super“The story of a brutal killer and the person he fears most.” The Super\, a deadly tool\, forged by years of abuse. He carries out his daily tasks while avoiding the ire of the woman he fears most. \n\n\n\nThe Humming GrowsBreaking into her sister’s home\, MMA fighter Jodie realizes she must free her chained niece from a brutal captor and family secrets as she fights for their escape. \n\n\n\nStumbling upon a photo\, unveiling signs\, Jodie is thrown into a horrific dynamic and forced to double down on their decision to break into the house. Starring Jewelianna Ramos-Ortiz (Cobra Kai\, Black Panther)\, a stunt performer delivering a “dynamic performance… reshaping action cinema” (Black Belt Magazine)\, supported by the talents of Cade Shepard (Stranger Things)\, Isla Grace Sosa (Stranger Things)\, and popular TikTok creator Kendra Liz Blanco\, the vibrant ensemble cast brings to life a captivating array of secretive characters in this refreshingly original and immensely entertaining cinematic puzzle. \n\n\n\nWriter-director Aughbar blends twists\, visuals\, and cinematic techniques in a project that is “more than just an action movie” (Georgia Entertainment)\, debuting an honest take on the action genre\, grounding it in traditional cinema techniques and a dark visual style. The film amps up the suspense\, weaving in elements to captivate audiences as they navigate through the whirlwind of plot twists\, ensuring they’re hooked and keeping pace. “The Humming Grows” experience feels like a studio project like no other student short films do. \n\n\n\nRío BlancoIn his quest to hunt a pig\, a man finds himself trapped on a hill. \n\n\n\n@4:15pm Anna Mariani – Photographic Notes\n\n\n\nThe uniqueness of the architecture of the Brazilian northeastern hinterland is at the heart of the work of the photographer Anna Mariani (1935-2022). “Anna Mariani – Photographic Notes” retraces the dirt roads the artist followed between the 70s and the 90s\, when she published her most famous works and helped an entire country rediscover the richness of the facades of popular houses as a phenomenon of visual perception and cultural identity. \n\n\n\n@6:30pm Technology Influenced Shorts Block\n\n\n\nAsterion: or\, (if you mess with the bull…)Ricky\, a 30-year-old police officer\, rents a hotel suite beyond his means to celebrate a role he will play in a big Hollywood movie. He spends the night indulging in alcohol and food\, streaming Instagram Live videos for his “fans\,” showing off the room and talking about his future on the big screen. As the night unfolds\, he receives calls—some congratulating him\, others criticizing his reckless behavior. Slowly\, his world begins to spiral out of control. \n\n\n\nFRANCISCAN CONTRADICTIONSInk and celluloid unravel the fraught dialogue between Franciscan friars and Nahua scholars\, where conquest bleeds into the codices. Weaving found footage with personal reflection\, this film reanimates histories of resistance and erasure\, tracing the ghostly imprint of empire in Latinx memory. \n\n\n\nAll Meat DietALL MEAT DIET follows Miles as he embarks on a journey to become his “best self” through fitness. As he entrenches himself in an online community of fitness fanatics that mirrors his ambitions\, Miles also finds the shame he harbors reflected back at him through the voices of several of his most fervent peers. \n\n\n\n@7:15pm Of Lore and Life Shorts Block\n\n\n\nYANGAIn “Yanga\,” a young woman embarks on a transformative journey along the Oaxacan coast\, where the boundaries between dreams and reality blur. As she navigates her personal landscape of pain and loss\, she discovers a vibrant ritualistic world that intertwines her experiences with the legacy of Yanga\, the first liberator of African slaves in Mexico and America. Through the rhythmic pulse of cumbia\, the film explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and the struggle for freedom. The spirit of Yanga serves as a guiding force\, illuminating the strength found in community and the enduring quest for liberation. As the protagonist immerses herself in this rich cultural tapestry\, she learns to embrace life’s complexities\, finding hope and vitality amidst the shadows of history. \n\n\n\n“Yanga” is a celebration of heritage and an homage to those who fought for justice\, to the afromexican communities around the country. \n\n\n\nIlhéusIlhéus (The Islanders) tells the story of Esther\, a young girl\, living on an island\, who acquires special skills after being saved from a mysterious accident at sea. \n\n\n\nNightmare of La LechuzaIn a sleepy town\, an ancient owl known as La Lechuza swoops down on Fern’s humble abode\, then transforms into Primitiva\, an immortal\, witchy owl woman. Enter Chello\, an overeager Lechuza-in-training\, crashing the hunt. Chaos ensues as Fern turns the owl-witches against each other with a dash of wit and a pinch of salt. As tempers flare and feathers fly\, Chello finds her voice against the critical Primitiva. But when Primitiva refuses to retire from her South Texas post\, Chello questions her future as a fearsome Lechuza in Rio Grande Valley. \n\n\n\nYaa Ye’e: Deidades de CuarzoMixtec-Zapotec antiquity reverberates in an instant. Their ancient voices whisper the memory of time and invoke deities that reveal deep secrets etched in stone. Quartz Deities is a look at the ungraspable\, a liminal window that leads to mineral memories where the apparent univocal directionality of time is interrupted\, diluted with the forces of nature and the cosmos. \n\n\n\n@8pm Julia VIVE\n\n\n\n“Julia de Burgos (a free spirit light-years ahead of her time)\, broke the mold that 20th century society had set for women. Born & raised in the rural poverty of 1914 Puerto Rico\, Julia surmounted many challenges\, becoming a renowned poet & journalist\, an assertive freedom fighter and a brave defender of workers’ & women’s rights.  \n\n\n\n“Julia VIVE” is a feature-length dramatic documentary which harmonizes the narrative lyricism of fiction with the educational lineament of the documentary genre… a joyous artistic convergence that honors the life\, work & legacy of the iconic Puerto Rican poet JULIA DE BURGOS (1914-1953)\, nurtured by the historical & socio-political contexts of her life in Cuba & New York from 1939 until her untimely death in 1953. \n\n\n\nOur film’s documentary thread is fueled by elements of Julia de Burgos’ brief -but intense- life and her posthumous fame\, validated by interviews with important international academic & cultural experts on her legacy\, and supported by abundant archival photos & footage (from 1920s – 1950s Puerto Rico\, Cuba & NYC). \n\n\n\nThey are enriched by fiction vignettes of Julia’s life (well-crafted 1930-50’s period recreations) that portray her intense spirit\, sensibility\, passions and the splendor of her poetic work\, featuring a talented cast\, meticulous period styling & production values that proudly honor her legacy. We are very honored and grateful by the generous & enthusiastic support of Julia de Burgos’ family to our film. “ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLearn more and secure your tickets at https://phlaff25.eventive.org/schedule

SUMMARY:Arturo Schomburg Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Saturday \,February 28 from 9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nTaller Puertorriqueño | 2600 N. 5th St\, Philadelphia\, PA 19133\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets & Learn More\n\n\n\n\nTicketed Event | $10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 30th Annual Arturo Schomburg Symposium traces how African-descended peoples\, both enslaved and free\, have sustained cultures and liberation struggles through rich\, dynamic\, spiritual\, and religious expressions. \n\n\n\nAs the United States commemorates the Semiquincentennial in 2026\, Taller Puertorriqueño’s guiding theme\, “We Will Not Hide\,” draws inspiration from the 1976 “Sin Colonias March” in Philadelphia—also called the “People’s Bicentennial”—which united over 40\,000 African Americans\, Indigenous activists\, Puerto Ricans\, and allies in a powerful demonstration of solidarity and resistance to a narrative that ignores their presence\, needs\, and contributions. This historic coalition serves as a touchstone for the symposium’s commitment to visibility\, dignity\, and self-determination. The Schomburg Symposium will kick off this year’s programming. \n\n\n\nThe Schomburg Symposium has\, for the past 29 years\, presented critical\, celebratory\, and reflective perspectives from the Latine\, Latin American\, African American\, and AfroLatine communities\, featuring leading scholars\, activists\, artists\, and community voices. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the Symposium’s programming here.
