Southern Shorts: an evening of short documentary films

Join us for a collection of five documentary shorts from regional filmmakers, presented by the Southern Documentary Fund.

The lineup:

1) "The Outlaw Lewis Redmond" by Neal Hutcheson of Raleigh, the story of the most famous outlaw of his day, the Appalachian-born renegade who used his bootlegging to help poor mountain families pay their taxes and stay on their land.

2) "Mary's Gone Wild" by Blaire Johnson of Durham, a look at a visionary folk artist from eastern North Carolina.

3) "Welcome to My Paradise" by Rhonda Klevansky of Durham, the story of two homeless sand artists working on the beaches of Durban, South Africa.

4) "Los Trivinos de Huasco" by Jessye McDowell of Durham, an experimental, poetic window into the lives of an artistic family living among fishermen and farmers in northern Chile.

5) "Grace and the New Rules" by Annie Howell, former Duke visiting professor, a complex portrait of Chapel Hill housekeeper Grace Avery.
