SAC Films Presents: Soul Food Junkies

February 5, 2013 by

 

SAC Films Presents: African American Heritage Month Film, Soul Food Junkies

“Award-winning filmmaker Byron Hurt (Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes) offers a fascinating exploration of the soul food tradition, its relevance to black cultural identity, and its continuing popularity despite the known dangers of high-fat, high-calorie diets. Inspired by his father’s lifelong love affair with soul food even in the face of a life threatening health crisis, Hurt discovers that the relationship between African Americans and dishes like ribs, grits and fried chicken is deep-rooted and culturally based. At the same time, he moves beyond matters of culture and individual taste to show how the economics of the food industry have combined with socioeconomic conditions in predominantly black neighborhoods to dramatically limit food choices. The result is an absorbing and ultimately inspiring look at the cultural politics of food and the complex interplay between identity, taste, power and health. Features soul food cooks, historians, doctors and food justice movement activists who are challenging the food industry.”

Come and watch Soul Food Junkies at the PSU Theater at: 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM, February 6, 2013

Springfield Stuff: Movies in Founders Park

August 24, 2012 by Julie Hill

Looking for something to do this weekend? Head downtown at dusk and enjoy the brisk adventures of The Lorax tonight at Founders Park. For five dollars, you can bring your lawn chairs, blankets… and maybe your significant other.

Did you miss the first show? Come back tomorrow night for the last show of the season, Captain America.The shows start at dusk but show up a little early to see some talented local filmmakers’ work.

Founders Park is located at the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Water Street (330 E. Water Street). The site is in the area where the development of Springfield began. You can get there on the Pink Bearline shuttle, which runs 6pm-2am Friday & Saturday nights continuously from PSU to downtown with stops at Florence/Cherry, Elm Street, Kentwood, Park Central Square, and Hammons Student Center.
