"On This Spot" features informal 'video-visits' to South Minneapolis places and
the people whose stories are found there. In this work-in-progress 'live
documentary' screening, the filmmaker and South Side native will add narrative
commentary to vignettes about some of the hidden history of South Central
Minneapolis, an underappreciated historic African American community.
This first journey into "South Side Stories" includes the park that lives up to
its name, the mothers of inventive school integration, and the historic
building that is the clarion of a one of Minnesota's greatest spokesmen. Part
old school family slide show, part video podcast, "On This Spot: South Side
Stories," is an interactive, informal journey into neighborhood history.
When: Saturday, June 25th from 8-10 pm.
Where: Third Place Gallery
