Theater | The Subjective Theater Company's Swallow


Can love come in a pill? Is decreased romantic satisfaction a chemical imbalance that can be solved with a prescription, or is it a personal failing? Swallow explores how modern relationships are both hindered and influenced by society’s idea of love and courtship when a pharmaceutical company invents a love drug called Amorex and assembles a panel of experts (a.k.a) “love gurus” to administer the test amongst unassuming couples.

Screening | Bestor Cram & Judy Richardson's Documentary Scarred Justice: The Orangeburg Massacre 1968 (2008)


On February 8, 1968, eight seconds of police gunfire left three young men dying and at least 28 wounded on the campus of South Carolina State College at Orangeburg. All of the police were white, all of the students African American. Almost all of the victims were shot from behind as they fled the gunfire that erupted without warning. It was the first time ever that police opened fire on students on a U.S. campus, yet it remains an almost unknown event in the history of the American civil rights movement. This film sheds light on this event. 58 min.

Screening | Elizabeth St. Philip's Documentary Breakin' In: The Making of a Hip Hop Dancer (2005)


The images are everywhere: young black women shaking their assets in music videos featuring the biggest names in hip-hop. The dancers appear to be pretty props, gyrating to songs with misogynistic lyrics sung by mostly male rappers - images that appear to be exploitative and stereotypical. Yet auditions are highly sought after. What drives these women to risk everything - education, jobs, relationships - for a chance at fame? 56 min.
