Black History Month film screening

Posted on February 23, 2012February 22, 2012 by Staff

ChathamArts’ Sustainable Cinema Series will honor Black History Month on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Fearrington Barn with a special screening of two films – The Loving Story and Wolf Call.

Director Nancy Buirski’s The Loving Story, short-listed for this year’s Academy Awards, is a short film that examines Loving v. Virginia, a watershed civil rights case in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statute unconstitutional in 1967.

Director Rob Underhill’s Wolf Call is a 12-minute short taking viewers back to 1956, a year after 14-year old Emmett Till had been brutally murdered. The film examines an interview with the men charged with the boy’s murder.

Admission is $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Proceeds benefit ChathamArts and its arts and education programs.
