Southern Circuit of Independent Filmmakers
Black Barbie: A Documentary
Oct 24, 2023
All Southern Circuit Events will include a screening and discussion with one of the filmmakers and in some cases a community panel.
With America’s obsession with The Barbie Movie here is a look at the real story of the diversification of this pop-culture icon. Through intimate access to a charismatic Mattel insider, Beulah Mae Mitchell, Black Barbie delves into the cross section of merchandise and representation as Black women struggle to elevate their own voices and stories, refusing to be invisible.
The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers connects independent filmmakers with communities throughout the South for screenings and conversations around stories, important topics, and the art of filmmaking. Since Southern Circuit’s inception in 1975, hundreds of filmmakers from around the country have toured, sharing their work and perspectives with over one hundred Screening Partner communities across the South.
Southern Circuit Screening Partner organizations host touring filmmakers and present screenings with Q&As and other engagements such as class visits, meet-and-greets, and workshops. Screening Partners include universities, community arts centers, municipalities, historic cinemas, places of worship, and more, serving diverse audiences of all ages.
Our newest restaurant partner Scrum-did-dly-ump-tious will expand their hours and be open for dinner before the screening of Black Barbie: A Documentary.
Reservations recommended.
