Here is a rare opportunity for an audience to take part in the creative process of filmmaking. The filmmakers working on these two unfinished documentary shorts will be on hand to discuss their films, and more importantly, to receive valuable audience feedback that has the potential of influencing the final versions of their films.

Moving Midway
Director: Godfrey Cheshire
DESCRIPTION: Film critic, Godfrey Cheshire, traces the history of Midway Plantation, a Southern family mansion built in the 1840's. Over the years, Midway Plantation survived a home invasion from Sherman's soldiers, the haunting by ghosts of past residents and visitors, its connection to a time in American history looked down upon in the public eye, and the difficulties of maintaining a big old house. In recent years, Midway has faced its biggest threat: the encroachment of new housing developments and shopping centers. In tracing the realities behind the myths regarding Southern plantation life, Cheshire compares the Hollywood image of the South to the impressions of real Southerners, and takes on the subject of race by tracking down an ancestor of a Midway slave. Framing the story of Midway is the home's latest chapter: Cheshire's cousin and current Midway resident has sold the land out from under the house and is moving the house to a new location.
