🎥 Why This Event Matters

As XL Film Fest expands its programming beyond the main weekend, The B-Roll Jam offers an immersive, interdisciplinary space for creative expression. ChiBrations continues its mission of amplifying the performing arts with this event, following a year of monthly programming at Experimental Station called THE PORTAL.

The night will also spotlight the recent release of a film called black (June 19), with visual projections from both this project and THE PORTAL playing throughout the event.

📣 How to Participate

This free event is open to the public and designed to be inclusive and accessible. Promotion will be a collaborative effort between ChiBrations, a film called black, and XL Film Fest. More details and promo materials to come!
