Description

This year the LMCC is partnering with the Saint Augustine Film Festival for exclusive film screenings. Don't miss these must-see films! Friday, January 21st @ 6 pm. Showings include: 1. Wade In The Water: Drowning In Racism 2021 Director: Cathleen Deen From seaweed to lost beach balls, sun-seekers bump into all sorts of surprises swimming along Florida’s iconic beaches. For black swimmers however, there’s a complex history floating off Florida’s blue waters—one of segregation and violence, but also one of protest and resistance. 2. The Conversation Remix: For Our Girls, A Conversation with Black Women Director: Michèle Stephenson & Imani Dennison USA / 10 min / English For Our Girls is a love letter to Black daughters -- acknowledging the sacred, and at times, tense relationship mothers and daughters share as they face challenges and accept each other’s flaws. 3. Fireburn The Documentary Director: Joel Fendelman USA / 20 min / English Although the Fireburn took place in the 1800s, on a Caribbean Island, it is relevant today. The film addresses the heart of humanity and shows us what happens when people are robbed of their inalienable rights. Masks are strongly encouraged when not eating or drinking. Refreshments will be available for purchase. The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center (LMCC) is an African American history museum located in the Lincolnville neighborhood of Saint Augustine, FL. Our mission is to preserve, promote and perpetuate over 450 years of the African American story through the arts, educational programs, lectures, live performances and exhibits.
