An Evening with Oscar Nominee RaMell Ross

Saturday, April 20 | Doors 4:30PM | Screening 5:30PM

Student Life Cinema | Florida State University Askew Student Life Center | 942 Learning Way, Tallahassee, FL 32306

See RaMell Ross’ Oscar-nominated film, Hale County This Morning, This Evening on the big screen, followed by a panel discussion Q&A with the filmmaker and a reception. One of the year's most critically acclaimed films, this dreamy and intimate journey through the world of Hale County, Alabama, is a richly detailed glimpse into life in America’s Black Belt.

Full of sublime moments, the film immerses the viewer in the southern black American experience in a place where Walker Evans and James Agee once chronicled the lives of poor white sharecropping families in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men in the 1930s, but today is an oft-misunderstood African American community. The film is "pure cinematic poetry" wrote A.O. Scott in The New York Times. This event is free to the public.
