Young & Na!ve
Poets Jazz House and Gia Scott-Heron are spittin’ fire from the iconic collection of Gil Scott-Heron at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Gia Scott-Heron daughter of the legendary writer, poet, rapper, jazz musician, singer and bluesologist Gil Scott-Heron and Poets Jazz House…a fierce band of spoken word artists are spittin’ fire and blazin’ stages with the powerful intensity of truth and messages from a visionary and the thought-provoking rhythms that made Civil Rights Activist Gil Scott-Heron a world renown influential artist, musician and Icon. Still prevalent today are the timeless and classic words of Gil Scott-Heron; considered the GODFATHER OF RAP because his music reflects the turbulence, uncertainty and increasing pessimism of the times, with a satirical edge told in the tradition of oral poetry and storytelling.
The ensemble cast of Poets and Musicians include: Gia Scott-Heron, Conney Williams, Lorenzo Frank, Yawo Watts, Art.Us Mansoir, The ORACLE and executive producer Tuesday Conner (Founder of ICCC2 & Poets Jazz House). Directed by sisters Lynne and Tuesday Conner (International Award-Winning Producers and Filmmakers). Both are alumni of Inner City Cultural Center under the direction of C. Bernard Jackson.

"Young & Na!ve"
Preferring the company of none, Robin searches to find out why all her beautiful and successful friends are single. She uncovered one of the biggest secrets in the world...Child Sexual Abuse.
The eloquent words of Robin’s journey to face her past begin a tidal wave of healing hearts at Poet's Jazz House....just somewhere to go in the midst of searching your soul.
A poetry lounge where spilling your heart is art and searching your soul is mandatory to get in the door delves deep into the minds of a poet; creating a masterful work of art in this remarkable and profoundly affecting story; as seen through the eyes of a spoken word artist spitting the powerful intensity of truth.
A poetic apology to everyone ever sexually molested is a film that needs to be seen by everyone ever born.
Young & Naive is the First in a series of Poetry-Films designed to Heal the Soul and Educate Minds...

Inner City Short Film Festival
Inner City Cultural Center II is proud to present short films that exhibit the cultural arts experience of those who walked into the house that Jack built; the greatest and first multicultural performing arts institute ever created and how it helped influence and develop amazing careers in Hollywood since 1965.
The Inner City Short Film Festival is all about storytelling and the documentation, exhibition, collection, preservation and study of the stories not only the filmmakers will share, but every awardee, presenter, viewer and participant will share. This entire event and its content will be recorded as a part of our Cultural Legacy Project and ultimately housed in the Los Angeles Inner City Cultural Center C. Bernard Jackson Memorial Library,
"A Place Where You Check Out Art or Check Art In.™".
This new facility will house the collected works of co-founder, artistic and executive director C. Bernard Jackson, Inner City alumni and LA based artists, arts organizations and other cultural workers like you.
Your participation means so much to us as we look forward to the next half century.
As C. Bernard Jackson aka as Jack Jackson said at the beginning of the Inner City journey
"Art may be the only tool we have left to save ourselves from destruction."
So, if we do not tell our stories and house them for our current and future posterity, who else will?
This is how we will save ourselves, our progeny and ensure our life's work, culture and history is secured.
We began our film festival to document our legacy and encourage alumni to tell their story.
We were bombarded with filmmakers just trying to get their film seen. Therefore we expanded and grew.
We welcome films under forty minutes from all over the world to support Artists worldwide.
Thank you for being a part of the Inner City Cultural Center journey.
