From “Winged Invasion: The Blackbirds of Scotland Neck” by Lisa Sorg
Anytown, USA is a class at the Center for Documentary Studies offered annually through our Continuing Education program, in which students produce and edit videos related to a small town in North Carolina. This year’s class, taught by filmmaker Randolph Benson, focused on the town of Scotland Neck, and each of the eleven students created a short film on a topic of their choice.
Students will screen their films at the newly renovated Power Plant building on the historic American Tobacco Campus in downtown Durham; on May 10, an outdoor screening was held in Scotland Neck—beautiful weather, well attended.
Friday, May 24, 7 p.m.
Full Frame Theater, Power Plant building
American Tobacco Campus, 318 Blackwell St.
Durham, North Carolina
The 2013 Anytown, USA videos will be posted for viewing at a later date; to watch the 2012 videos, click here. For more information, email cdscourses@duke.edu.
