FILM SCREENING: Hale County This Morning, This Evening, a film by RaMell Ross
Award-winning cinematographer and photographer RaMell Ross* is a poet of image, sound, and language. His documentary Hale County This Morning, This Evening is rooted in a county established after the Civil War in western Alabama. Ross moved there from Washington, D.C., immersing himself in a slower way of life, experiencing the legacy of the South in the African American experience, as a Northerner who did not know it firsthand.
Hale County This Morning, This Evening is the winner of the 2018 Sundance Film Festival award for U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Creative Vision, the Gotham Independent Film Award and the Cinema Eye Honors Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking. It was nominated for an Academy Award.
