SUMMARY:Preserving the Untold History of Chinese Grocers in the Delta:  A Documentary Screening and Discussion

Emerging filmmaker and Hopewell resident Bryan Zhao examines this rich\, forgotten legacy in Eighty Years at Young’s. Centered on an 80-year-old grocery store in Earle\, Arkansas\, the film weaves together past and present via oral histories\, community interviews\, and archival photographs to detail the impact of the region’s few remaining Chinese-owned grocery stores. Join us for a virtual screening of the film followed by an engaging discussion with Zhao about his documentary research process\, the legacy of Delta grocers\, and his work in AAPI advocacy and community solidarity. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.

SUMMARY:Gene Kelly—Singing and Dancing in the Rain
DESCRIPTION:Gene Kelly is one of the most engaging and influential dancers in motion picture history. At a time when movie dance largely showcased elegant partners in motion\, Kelly transformed both the nature of male dancing and the essential role of the camera in bringing dance to life on the big screen. Beginning in the 1940s\, he created dozens of iconic numbers that helped define the American movie musical and continue to delight audiences of all ages. This presentation surveys Kelly’s remarkable achievements and explores his enduring impact on Hollywood dance. Presented by Brian Rose\, Professor Emeritus at Fordham University.
