One of my favorite films from the 2013 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is screening in Durham, N.C., next Monday, June 17th. The screening is hosted by Full Frame, and it’s free and open to the public. Seats are first come, first served. Get more info on the screening here.
After the screening of “If You Build It” the folks featured in the film came up on stage for a Q&A. They got the LONGEST standing ovation I can remember in a very long time. I think everyone in the Carolina Theater was in tears. I got some video on Vine:
You should get there and watch this doc. I absolutely loved it. Let me know if you go, mk?!
Description of the doc pulled from the 2013 Full Frame program:
Designers Emily Pilloton and Matthew Miller bring their radical and innovative educational program to Bertie County, North Carolina, transforming people and place over the course of a turbulent and inspiring year. Each season brings a new set of challenges, both prescribed and unexpected, and the resourceful instructors (and their industrious students) must apply the principles of their curriculum—design, build, transform—to their lives as well as to their projects. Earnest, determined, and rousing, the film and its subjects, raise questions of self-reliance, citizenship, and community-building in its most literal interpretation.
