Home > Speaker > November 2023: Capturing the South on Film

When Bradley Bethel became director of Carrboro Film Fest five years ago, he established a new mission for the festival: to celebrate and interrogate Southern culture.

Every film selected for the festival must have a connection to the South, but that raises a series of questions every year. What is the South? What is Southern culture? What is a Southern film? What is a Southerner? Bradley will discuss these questions and more at the next Sunday Assembly.

And what great timing, the Carrboro Film Fest is happening just days after our Assembly (Nov 17-19)! This is a perfect opportunity to dip your toes in to what it will be like.
