MAVIS! is returning to Durham for a one-night-only free screening at the Full Frame Theater on 320 Blackwell Street at the American Tobacco Campus on November 20 at 7:30pm (doors open at 7:00pm). The Full Frame Theater makes its home in the old Power Plant in the center of American Tobacco Campus. The theater seats about 100 with year round programming, screenings and classes.
This is home to the annual Full Frame Fest in April of each year. The 19th annual Full Frame Fest will take place April 7-10, 2016. Each Spring the Full Frame Fest welcomes filmmakers and film lovers from around the world to historic downtown Durham, North Carolina for a four-day morning-to-midnight array of over 100 films, as well as discussions, panels, and Southern hospitality.
The encore screening of MAVIS! is part of Full Frame’s Third Friday Film Series, a program of the Full Frame Road Show presented by PNC. Only a teenager when her family, the Staple Stingers, started performing, Mavis Staples has an incredibly soulful voice. Led by their father, “Pops,” Mavis and her siblings moved audiences with their gospel music. They also helped inspire the civil rights movement through song.
