Please join us on October 20 for a special screening of the locally-produced feature documentary ZAKHEIM. This will be the first LOCAL SHOWCASE screening.

ZAKHEIM tells the story of Polish immigrant Bernard Zakheim; from his early life in Poland, his immigration to San Francisco, and how he became involved in the Federal Arts Program of the New Deal era. Rusk-based filmmaker Isaac Belota uncovers the sprawling story through the discovery of two Zakheim murals in East Texas; one in Rusk's Post Office, and one in Mineola's Post Office.

Come see how the story of East Texas weaves into the larger context of American History in the New Deal era.

Doors open at 6PM, at Liberty Hall. Screening starts at 7PM, with a brief Q&A after the film. A post-screening reception will be held next door at Callynth Photography, with snacks and beverages provided by Salon d'Art and Art Connection of East Texas.

Explore the life, art, and legacy of Bernard Zakheim.

Join us at Liberty Hall on October 3 at 7 p.m. for a chilling screening of The Blair Witch Project as we revisit the evidence, uncover the mystery, and decide for yourself what really happened in those woods. The truth is still out there if you dare to look for it,
