Fast Forward is a longstanding program at the ICA, in which teens learn video production skills and storytelling.

Fast Forward Members will learn to create documentary films as their main project and complete a smaller video production project, designed by the Teaching Artist, that focuses on video production storytelling, identity, exploring their communities, or a topic related to the current exhibitions on view at the ICA. As a culmination of this project, participating teens should build skills to facilitate this workshop or a similar workshop to other teens in Boston.
