Hale County This Morning, This Evening Film Screening

Friday, August 23, 2019 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Pop Start :: 211B Broad Street, York AL 36925

Join filmmaker RaMell Ross for a screening of HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING, a documentary film.

An inspired and intimate portrait of a place and its people, the film follows Daniel Collins and Quincy Bryant, two young African American men from rural Alabama, over the course of five years. The audience is invited to experience the mundane and monumental, birth and death, the everyday and sublime. These moments combine to communicate the region’s deep culture and provide glimpses of the complex ways the African American community’s collective image is integrated into America’s visual imagination.

After the screening, there will be a Q&A with Ross.

HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING continues the Coleman Center for the Art’s new screening series which is held on Friday evenings in our newly renovated Pop Start facility. The series is open to the public and free of charge including refreshments (popcorn, bottled water). Whenever possible the filmmakers are present for post-screening talkbacks and workshops.

Upcoming films include “In Search of the Truth/ Truth Booth,” by Cause Collective, a team of artists, designers and ethnographers and featuring community members in Pike County (MS), Uniontown, Selma, and York.

There will be a second screening of HALE COUNTY THIS MORNING, THIS EVENING in Greensboro on Saturday, August 24, 2019.
