POSTPONED: Movie Night! ~ “A House Is Not A Home: Wright or Wrong” with Filmmakler Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa

May 1, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

This intimate real-life saga links the filmmaker’s family and long-lost home in Tehran, an historic Frank Lloyd Wright house in Florence, Alabama, and the formative years of renowned film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum (Placing Movies), in a reflection on the life impact of space, place, and displacement. Rosenbaum, son of a family that owned a chain of movie theaters, grew up in the Wright house, now restored as a museum. Documenting the home over a period of years, beginning at a time when it was still occupied by the critic’s mother, Saeed-Vafa (JERRY & ME, A DIFFERENT MOON) finds parallels between the design eccentricities that the famously inflexible architect imposed on his clients and the twisting and constricted course of dysfunctional family histories that veer into alienation and tragedy.

Filmmaker Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa will be at the screening!!!

As always, admission is free and so are the snacks.
