Film Night: Film Reality Checks

The Department of Arts & Culture will host a Film Night titled “Film Reality Checks” on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 at 6pm in our Culture Commons Gallery. The screening will include four short films by San Antonio filmmakers Deon Van Rooyen, Dat Mayne Dee Wayne Goodloe and Celina Igwe. The series of thought provoking films is curated by Ada M. Babino, documentary filmmaker and founder/executive director of the San Antonio Black International Film Festival. Following the screening, Babino will moderate a talk with the filmmakers, followed by an audience Q&A.

This event is part of the ancillary programming for the Between Yesterday & Tomorrow: Perspectives from Black Contemporary Artists of San Antonio exhibition. In this exhibition, local talents share their cultural and life experiences through their work. Themes covered include Black history and identity, family dynamics, social connections, personal human experience, spirituality and resilience. The artworks include drawing, painting, photography, mixed media, digital media, assemblage, sculpture and quilting. The show is on view through November 17, 2023 at Culture Commons Gallery.
