ITVS Community Cinema [DC] 2010-2011 Season Survey
Thank you for supporting another season of ITVS Community Cinema [DC]. 2010 – 2011 marked our 6th year in Washington, DC thanks to our series partners WHUT, Busboys and Poets, the Social Action and Leadership School for Activists, Washington DC Jewish Community Center, and the Center for Social Media at American University, and community partners for the season’s films:
At times, there has been fear and resentment directed towards newcomers, especially in hard economic times. And because these issues touch deeply on what we believe, touch deeply on our convictions — about who we are as a people, about what it means to be an American — these debates often elicit strong emotions.
Yesterday in El Paso, Texas, President Barack Obama talked about fixing “our broken immigration system.” Immigration has been in a political stalemate for many years. Perhaps the real debate is just beginning.
During the month of May Community Cinema has presented local community screenings of Welcome to Shelbyville, a film by by Kim Snyder. Welcome to Shelbyville traces the Tennessee town’s journey where longtime African American and white residents are challenged with how best to integrate with a burgeoning Latino population and the more recent arrival of hundreds of Somali refugees of Muslim faith. Set on the eve of the 2008 Presidential election, the film captures the interaction between Shelbyville’s old and new residents as they search for a way to live together during that tumultuous, history-changing year. Welcome to Shelbyville was seleted by the U.S. State Department for it 2010 Documentary Showcase.
