Filmland: Arkansas Cinema Society Brings Global Filmmakers to Little Rock
Arkansas Cinema Society co-founder Kathryn Tucker is bent on bringing Southern storytellers to Little Rock with the Filmland event.
ACS supports the local film community, amateur and professional alike, hosting Arkansas screenings of movies that might not otherwise get adequate exposure in the state, such as Oscar best picture nominees “The Zone of Interest” and “Anatomy of a Fall.” Last year, the organization hosted a screening of Oscar-nominated documentary short “The Barber of Little Rock” at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, where mayor Frank Scott Jr. conducted a Q&A with nonprofit community bank advocate Arlo Washington. “We teach 10 to 15 girls, who come up with story ideas, then they pitch and decide collectively on which one to make,” explains Tucker, who steers participants as they write a script, learn about pre-production, then shoot, edit and sound design a finished short.
