Documentary (Trailer)
Saturday, May 5th, 6pm
Is a short trailer for a film that Jared Martin and Michael David are co-directing and producing on Thornton Dial and Lonnie Holley.
The multimedia artists Lonnie Holley and the late Thornton Dial were both born into poverty in the state of Alabama. The chaos of living hand to mouth, not to mention through the Civil Rights Era, is indelibly present in their paintings, sculptures and assemblages, most of which incorporate organic and manmade scavenged materials. Filmmakers Jared Martin and Michael David explore their bodies of work, which delve into the Deep South’s rich heritages, histories and identities of Afro-Americana.
