IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Film: The Representation Project's first film, Miss Representation, exposes the ways in which mainstream media representations of girls and women contribute to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence. The second film, The Mask You Live In, explores how Americas narrow definition of masculinity is harming our boys, men, and society at large. (See Schedule O)

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Youth Programs: The Representation Project runs youth programs to train the next generation of media creators. The Youth Media Lab provides online spaces where 1,000+ young people ages 14-24 learn how to create different types of media (e.g., films, podcasts, blogs, etc.) and share their work with other young media creators. The Youth Media Academies are month-long summer intensive programs to train high school students in filmmaking. Participants make a short film from concept to storyboarding, filming, and editing while learning about gender justice issues. The Youth Media Summit is an annual gathering for young people to interact with filmmakers and activists who speak about the power of media to shape and shift culture.
