​We are bringing the FYP IRL.

​Hi, we’re Zaid and Miriam, content creators who are both chronically online and also desperate for offline analog experiences. We’ve been working together to host community-driven virtual experiences and are excited to do something together in New York City!

​Lately, we’ve been thinking about the ephemeral nature of the content we consume–we scroll and it disappears, both from our screens and our brains. We know the ways short-form videos can change our thinking about our lives and each other in really lasting ways; let’s let that information sink in longer!

​Here’s our attempt: you’re invited to our microfilm festival: “I Read An Article (I Saw a TikTok…)”

​This is a live event where we will screen some of the most meaningful short-form videos that we have seen, that have impacted us, and left us thinking more deeply. After screening, we’ll break off into groups and engage in a facilitated conversation reflecting on the content we have just consumed.

​Let’s push back against the lonely endless scroll.
