Contraband Cinema presents "La Florida - Personal Histories of the Sunshine State" on 7/26

This Saturday at Contraband Cinema: Like the waves that continuously etch out the shape of Florida, the personal histories of its inhabitants etch out its identity. Since Juan Ponce de Leon stepped into its marsh in 1513 Florida has been a concept up for grabs. The documentary films in this program tell stories of people who by choice, force or coercion have made a claim to the idea and place the Spanish called La Florida.

Award winning films by Georg Koszulinski (in person), Lisa Danker and Carl Knickerbocker begin at 8pm. Q&A following the films. 
Come early for Robbins Barstow Florida vacation home movies (1973).

$5 suggested donation. Saturday July 26th at Beep Beep Gallery. Doors open at 7pm
