Fiscal Year Awarded

Grant or Program

Grant Amount
$15,000

InterGeneration is an animated film connecting teens from the Eliot School’s Teen Bridge Program with Boston elders—indigenous, immigrant, and black community leaders, artists, activists, educators and healthcare workers. The group of teens and elders take the viewer on a personal journey through the city’s colonial past and inequitable present. Armed with their home devices, the teens animate the elders’ stories with drawing, paper cut-outs, found objects, and their own bodies, creating a beautiful and poignant historical document of the hope that comes from cross-generational connection during our global pandemic and our national struggle for racial justice.
