Did you know that Cambridge, MA, is home to the oldest youth-curated film festival in the country? The "Do It Your Damn Self" National Youth Video and Film Festival, founded in 1996, was created in conjunction with the Teen Media Program at Cambridge's Community Art Center.

The Teen Media Program began 40 years ago, with the purpose of providing teenagers a place to express themselves through art. Initially, the Teen Media Program offered black-and-white and Polaroid photography, as well as Super-8mm film-making. Today, it offers classes in traditional and digital photography, graphic design, and digital-video production.

The "Do It Your Damn Self" National Youth Video and Film Festival was established by teens from the Teen Media Program who wanted to bring youth-created video to a wide audience. Moreover, the event offers youth and adults from around the country the opportunity to network and share their love of film and video as a medium for exploring social issues.

On Thursday, December 6, from 7:00 - 9:00 PM at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, the "Do It Your Damn Self" National Youth Video and Film Festival will offer a "Best of" screening in order to celebrate the youth filmmakers, as well as the students and staff at the Community Art Center, who have helped make the festival what it is today.
