As we've previously announced, The Co-op Wars will screen online as part of the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival from May 14-23. We're happy to add that ticket holders are invited to a Zoom Q&A on May 18 at 7pm moderated by MSPIFF programmer Craig Laurence Rice! Click here for tickets and to RSVP for the Q&A more information.
Craig Laurence Rice is producer and director whose work has been nominated for four Emmy Awards and an NAACP Image Award and has received several other honors. His credits include producing the PBS variety show special A Prairie Home Companion: 30th Broadcast Season Celebration and serving as director and executive producer of the feature-length documentary Half Past Autumn: The Life and Works of Gordon Parks for HBO.
We look forward to talking with Craig and the audience about the making of The Co-op Wars and it's relevance to understanding the Twin Cities co-ops, the 1970s counterculture, and political activism today. We hope to talk to you then!
