The Neighborhood Video Project works with youth to create video documentaries in three Saint Paul neighborhoods: University Corridor, West 7th, and the East Side. Click on a neighborhood in the map below to view blog entries, see photos, and watch videos from each area.
Neighborhood Video Project: Wrapping up in West 7th
Neighborhood Video Project has finished work on some amazing videos in Saint Paul's West 7th neighborhood. We completed three documentaries on CSPS Hall, West 7th Immigration, and the Mississippi River. Youth also finished creating video diaries about their lives, homes, families, and pets. So, to celebrate, we all boarded a steamboat and took a ride down the Mississippi River for our final class. As you can see from the photo on the left, it was a lot of fun.
Neighborhood Video Project Screening on May 12!
The Neighborhood Video Project will be screening its first films from the West 7th neighborhood at CSPS Hall on Wednesday, May 12, at 7 PM.
Come to see two original documentaries, one on the Mississippi River, and one on Immigration in West 7th. The documentaries are full of interviews with community members, historic photos, and lots of neighborhood memories. There will be a question and answer session with the youth filmmakers, and refreshments will be provided. This is also a great chance to visit CSPS Hall in Saint Paul, a historic building with a rich history in the West 7th neighborhood and a gathering place for Minnesota's Czech Slovak community.
Come watch! Wednesday, May 12, 7 PM, at CSPS Hall. CSPS Hall is located at 383 West Michigan St, right off West 7th street in Saint Paul. Click here for directions.
