About the Screening
The Listening Tour is a program of Queens World Film Festival that brings small groups together to video tape their thoughts on Hope and Resilience. The program launched in September 2021 and has produced 46 segments featuring school children, the kitchen staff of 2 diners, artists, teachers, community organizers, 8th grade environmental activists and many other of our Queens neighbors.
Join us as we share segments featuring community members from Rockaway to Flushing.
