Central Cinema: Lumbeeland + Filmmaker Q&A

  • November 16, 2024

Category: Film, Free event, Lecture, panel and Meetup

Free Screening | 2:30pm Saturday Nov 16

We’re pleased to be teaming up with Mergoat and Black In Appalachia for this free film screening event, featuring a Q&A with filmmakers Malinda Maynor Lowery and Sol Pederson.
https://www.blackinappalachia.org/

A narrative short film about Dollar, a single father and drug dealer who must prove his worth to his mother and young daughter. LUMBEELAND follows one family that must reckon with the harm they have caused, discovering what happens when we reap what we sow. A tragic tale exploring how we hurt the ones we love, even when we want to protect them – that anger and greed lead us to betray those we are closest to, even ourselves.

Central Cinema, 1205 N Central St, Knoxville, TN 37917. Information: info@centralcinemaknox.com, 865-951-2447, https://centralcinema865.com
