Reel Stories Documentary Film Program 2009
The Reel Stories Documentary Film Project allows high school students to explore and develop their own group documentary film. With the assistance of artists-in-residence, students spend three weeks viewing and discussing a series of documentary films that span community, environmental, and political issues. Students are then exposed to research methodologies used to create documentary films, such as interviewing, recording, and data collecting. For the remaining 15 weeks, students choose a project topic, conduct the appropriate research, begin film production, construct a film narrative, and assist with editing the final product. This project is designed to give the participating students a voice and a vision to share with the public and a chance to tell their story.
In 2009, the students of Tyner Academy produced their feature-length film about problems in the current educational system, entitled I Are a Genius.

A Portrait of Public Housing: Photos by Jason Reblando
For close to a decade, the Chicago Housing Authority has been involved in the controversial process of replacing current public housing complexes with mixed-income townhouses. Reblando creates portraits that challenge commonly held assumptions that public housing developments are simply places of poverty and misery. His portraits of public housing residents under the transformation plan attempt to convey the complex relationship residents have with the place in which they live, amidst the uncertain future of their community.
A selection of Reblando's work is on exhibit at AVA Gallery in Chattanooga, March 6, 2009 April 17, 2009
