Thursday Night Film Series @indianamuseum

April 15, 2023 Leave a comment

By Marc Allan
Indiana State Museum

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana State Museum will introduce a new Thursday night film series later this month that combines exhibitions, documentaries and conversations with filmmakers, historians, community members and experts in the field.

The films are “Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability” (April 27, 2023), “For Gold and Glory” (May 18, 2023) and “Making Black America: Through the Grapevine – Episode 1” (June 22, 2023). The screenings, which are free, take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the museum’s auditorium. 

Pre-registration is encouraged. For more information, visit https://indianamuseum.org.

The films in the series are related to ongoing exhibitions in the museum, and visitors are encouraged to see the exhibits prior to the screenings. “Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability” is connected to “Inspired by the Dunes: Paintings by Frank V. Dudley,” “For Gold and Glory” to “Vintage Vision: Cars of the 1920s” and “Making Black America: Through the Grapevine” to “Influencing Lincoln, the Pursuit of Black Freedom.” 

Admission to the museum to see the exhibits is $15 adults, $14 seniors, $10 youth, $5 Indiana college students, $2 Access Pass members, free for educators with school ID. The film series is recommended for ages 12+. 

“Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability” tells the story of how the stunning natural beauty of the south shore of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes collides with heavy industry like nowhere else in the country. Following the film, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites Curator of Science, Technology and Biology Damon Lowe will chat with filmmakers Pat Wisniewski, Tom Desch and Rana Segal. 

“For Gold and Glory” is the story of 1920s Indianapolis racecar owner and mechanic Charlie Wiggins, who created a national racing league for African Americans. The post-film discussion will feature Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites Curator of Social History Kisha Tandy and filmmaker Todd Gould. Angie Rogers, the great niece of Charlie Wiggins, and her mom, Rochelle Wiggins-Morton, are scheduled to attend.  

“Making Black America: Through the Grapevine – Episode 1” is part of a series about how Black people fought for full citizenship and exercised their self-determination by building communities, establishing schools and creating associations that would become the foundational pillars of Black America. After the film, Tandy will speak with Lourenzo Gilpe, deputy director of planning, preservation and urban design for the city of Indianapolis, and Eunice Trotter, director of the Black Heritage Preservation Program for Indiana Landmarks.

“Inspired by the Dunes: Paintings by Frank V. Dudley” is open through June 25. Dudley’s artwork helped to preserve the rare ecosystem where people come to explore, study, enjoy and create. Visitors see 28 Dudley paintings from throughout his career. They step into one of his beach scenes, learn about his life and see how his work influenced authors, photographers, poets and artists – like Jason Wesaw – who continue to find inspiration in the Dunes landscape.

“Vintage Vision: Cars of the 1920s” is open through Oct. 15. Visitors can check out 10 of the hottest rides of the 1920s – including a Duesenberg Model A Roadster – all on loan from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum collection. They learn about the cars and the manufacturers and see clothing from the era. They’re also able to build their own miniature car and test it on a track and turn themselves into a hood ornament for a photo op.

“Influencing Lincoln, the Pursuit of Black Freedom” is open through Oct. 29. Visitors discover how the 19th-century Black community — connected through church, business, family, military, education and politics — fought for full citizenship and helped shift President Lincoln’s attitudes (and actions) regarding their freedom.

World Premiere of “Eva” at Clowes Hall, Apr. 5, 2018

INDIANAPOLIS – Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor stands just 4 feet 9 inches tall, but she’ll seem larger than life when “Eva” premieres on the big screen at Clowes Memorial Hall at Butler University Thursday, April 5, 2018, 6:30-9 PM.

The film, produced by WFYI Public Media in collaboration with Ted Green Films and Mika Brown, offers incredible details about Kor’s journey from Romanian Jewish farm girl to Nazi death camp survivor to leading global force on the power of healing through forgiveness.

“I heard (Nazi Dr. Josef) Mengele say that I only had two weeks to live, and I decided I was going to prove him wrong,” Kor said about her Auschwitz experience. “I didn’t understand what I did. Why did Hitler hate me?”

At age 83, Kor now has a better understanding of why she’s endured so many trials throughout her life. Her captivating story doesn’t come without controversy, particularly her decision to publicly forgive Mengele, Hitler and all Nazis, and it’s all part of “Eva,” masterfully written and produced by award-winning local filmmaker Ted Green.

“I’ve never seen a greater personal example of the triumph of the human spirit than Eva Mozes Kor,” Green said. “Her psychological transformation and the good she’s doing for others are astonishing.”

Green and co-producer Brown have traveled the world capturing heartfelt interviews and stunning scenes of Kor’s most significant successes – stories of lives changed after hearing about her experiences and life perspective.

The film is narrated by Hollywood icon Ed Asner and includes on-camera appearances from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, former NBA great Ray Allen, TV and movie star Elliott Gould and many others who reveal touching accounts of Kor’s impact on their own lives.

Tickets for the April 5 event are $40 and go on sale Thursday, January 19 at 10 a.m. through the Clowes Memorial Hall box office and at ticketmaster.com.

This premiere is a partnership with Butler University and Heartland Film and is expected to attract an international crowd.

WFYI, CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center and Indiana State University are also partnering together for a second premiere in Kor’s hometown of Terre Haute on Saturday, April 14 at Tilson Auditorium at Indiana State. Ticket information and other details for this event will be announced sometime in January.
