The Mirror Project Debuts In Atlanta March 17th!

he Mirror Project, a 12-year-old social documentary project founded in Boston, is scheduled to premiere with the screening and discussion of three films March 17 at Georgia State University. Colombian-born Roberto Arévalo founded the project in 1992 to explore social documentary and its links to social change. He relocated it recently to the Digital Arts and Entertainment Laboratory at Georgia State. "A major focus of our work is teaching urban youth how to create documentary videos about their everyday experiences," says Arévalo. "Typically, access to the skills, tools, and resources necessary for making documentaries is concentrated in the hands of a few, but I want to create awareness about the lives of people who, though they may live near one another, remain strangers because of ethnic, cultural, age or socio-economic barriers."

Arévalo will present three films representing the philosophy, methodology and development of the Mirror Project at 7 p.m. March 17 in the Speaker's Auditorium of the Georgia State University Student Center (corner of Courtland and Gilmer streets).
