SUMMARY:History Film Forum: Questlove's Summer of Soul Screening
DESCRIPTION:The History Film Forum is an online series from the Smithsonian that explores history on the screen and the evolution of film as public history. \nThe Harlem Cultural Festival took place the same summer as Woodstock and boasted an attendance on a par with that event 100 miles away. More than 300\,000 people filled Mount Morris Park for six weeks of extraordinary performances by artists including Stevie Wonder\, Sly and the Family Stone\, Nina Simone\, B.B. King\, the Staple Singers\, the 5th Dimension\, David Ruffin\, Mahalia Jackson\, and Gladys Knight and the Pips. \nDespite the stellar lineup\, the 1969 music event received little mainstream media coverage\, and 40 hours of performance footage shot by the late television pioneer Hal Tulchin remained in storage for 50 years. \nThat long-unseen material has been transformed into the feature documentary Summer of Soul (…Or\, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)\, the directorial debut of musician\, songwriter\, author\, and five-time GRAMMY Award recipient Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Join a conversation with Thompson and producers Joseph Patel\, Robert Fyvolent\, and David Dinerstein\, and moderated by Fath Davis Ruffins\, a curator at the Smithsonian American History Museum\, as they explore the making of the film and the event’s historical significance. \nPresented by Smithsonian Associate and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History through the generous support of Dan Manatt and Democracy Films.

SUMMARY:"Resettlement: Chicago Story" the short film
DESCRIPTION:“Resettlement: Chicago Story” is an educational program (film + interactive site) that explores one Japanese American family’s experience of rebuilding their lives in Chicago after they were released from the incarceration camps in WWII. The cinematic digital history project consists of a narrative short film and an immersive educational website for learners of all ages who are interested in post-WWII U.S. history. \nUtilizing the power of cinematic storytelling\, the educational website builds upon both the characters and historical themes of incarceration and resettlement introduced in the film. The film functions to create emotional investment in the characters and the time period and builds the world for the website\, which provides the context of the historical period through primary and secondary sources carefully curated by a team of historians. “Resettlement: Chicago Story” is aimed towards 6-12th grade students but is easily adaptable to other grade levels and the general public.
