The Film Alliance of the Ozarks and the New Design Center are teaming up this summer to bring you the “Feed Mill Film” series on the third Thursdays of each month. The purpose of the series is to explore the many ways in which artists create and share their work.

The first film will be this Thursday (June 19th) at 8:30pm. Rivers and Tides is a documentary about artist Andy Goldsworthy, who is known for his sculptures that incorporate elements of nature that blend seamlessly into their landscape environment.

The films will be screened at the New Design Center, located in the basement of the Mill Building at 525 South School Avenue. The cost of admission is $5. A reception will be held before the screening at 7pm on the first floor of the Mill Building. Please call (479) 587–9925 for directions or more information.

The next screening will be held on Thursday July 17th. The film, The Five Obstructions, a documentary about the filmmaking process, will be shown.
