We invite you to join our partners at DAYVISION Films, The University of Arkansas’s Juneteenth Committee, and the Community Cohesion Project for an evening honoring Black filmmakers in Arkansas.
The Second Annual Black Film Showcase offers a deep dive into African American film experiences in Northwest Arkansas in an effort to raise awareness, education, exposure, and networking opportunities for Black Arkansans. Your host, Marissa Culbreath, will introduce the evening’s works, including short film screenings and a feature-length film in the Great Hall, followed by filmmaker discussions moderated by Ify Egbosimba.
Afterwards, we invite you to a post-film mix and mingle with filmmakers, the DAYVISION team members, the University of Arkansas’s Juneteenth Committee, and CCP. A cash bar will be available with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and complimentary cheese, crackers, and popcorn will be provided throughout the evening’s program.
To enhance your evening even further, we’re offering free admission to our temporary exhibition The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse for all Film Showcase attendees. Arrive early and explore the galleries with this celebration of a century of Black culture.
We hope to see you there, and at Sunday’s Juneteenth celebration in Downtown Springdale!
