Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, #PhillyStories is back with "Hair Appointments for Josie", "Crop Circles" and "Los Trabajadores-CATA" - only on PhillyCAM TV (phillycam.org/watch)
"Hair Appointments for Josie", directed by Nicole Keating, is a compelling short film that focuses on Josie Wierzbicki, a lively, 75-year-old South Philadelphia woman who tells the story of her life to her hairdresser while getting her hair done. The filmmaker explores the meaning of this ritual for women in their "golden years", who often continue to visit beauty salons regularly despite strong social messages that they are no longer considered beautiful.
"Crop Circles", produced by Big Tea Party, is a documentary that digs into Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), a growing trend taking root across the country, committed to bringing back old ways of connecting people to farms and farmers.
"Los Trabajadores-CATA", produced by Scribe Video Center in partnership with El Comite de Apoyo a Los Trabajadores Agricolas (CATA), tells the stories and day-to-day experiences of mushroom farm laborers from Kennett Square and Reading, and examines their efforts to improve working and living conditions through organizing.

Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, #PhillyStories is back with "All Items $1", "Lunch Cart", and "City Halls 2.1.5" - only on PhillyCAM TV (phillycam.org/watch)
"All Items $1", directed by Shakti Jaising, is the story of a low-income neighborhood bordering Temple University in North Philadelphia, a once-prosperous blue-collar neighborhood that rapidly deteriorated in the early 1960's, told through oral accounts provided by a local dollar store owner and two residents who shop there.
"Lunch Cart", directed by Kevin Diehl, reveals a patchwork of lives in transition and often on the mend. It tells the story of new immigrants arriving in America, a vast majority seek safe haven from the political oppression and economic hardship of their native countries.
"City Halls 2.1.5", directed by Michael O’Reilly, follows O'Reilly as he uses proprietary software to makes meaning out the discarded, releasing each art piece as an iteration of a growing whole. Each City Halls piece is like a bucket full of words, music and images, drawn from an ever deepening well of media.

Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, #PhillyStories is showing classics: "Crosstown", "Loqueesha Franklin Jose Brown", and "SK8 B-Lo I-95" - only on PhillyCAM TV (phillycam.org/watch)
"Crosstown", directed by Miriam Camitta, is a story that cuts across time, gender, race and economics. Set in South Philadelphia during the 1950s and 1960s, it focuses on the reaction of a diverse group of people to a proposal to build an expressway through South Street.
"Loqueesha Franklin Jose Brown", directed by Nadine Patterson, is a collaboration among Philadelphia's finest artists; poet Ursula Rucker, filmmaker Nadine Patterson and music composer/producer Rob Yancey that results in the creation of a soundscape of poetic imagery set to Ursula Rucker's provocative meditation on a child growing up in Philadelphia.
"SK8 B-Lo I-95", produced by Big Tea Party, is about how skateboarders and Philadelphia's city government collaborated to create the world famous skate park, Philly Side, located in a corner of FDR Park in South Philadelphia.
