Film in Community remembers the work of 1980s Twin Cities organizers, the Neighborhood Media Project, and their collaborations with community groups to host screenings at community centers. For this four-part screening series, the Walker will screen Cuban films, highlighting the connections between the political spirit of the Neighborhood Media Project and similar Cuban projects.
