Abolition Film Society will facilitate and document a circle of creative exchanges between Assembly artists and incarcerated participants from Parole Prep’s Archive-Based Creative Arts program, resulting in multiple short screenplays written by the incarcerated participants, a single short film incorporating elements from all screenplays produced by the youths, and an installation that artist Kriss Li maintains as a living archive of the project as it unfolds.
