On Saturday, June 1st, at 1:00 p.m. we will host the local filmmaker Cortez Mack at the Douglass Branch as he screens his three short films about mental health and healing in the black community.
Program:
– “Bobby,” a short film about dementia and mental health awareness.
– “Dinner Table,” a short film about the disconnection of the family.
– “Splitting Image,” a short film about a father-son relationship.
The films will be followed by a discussion with Cortez Mack. Flourish Chicago, which provides free memory assessments and other community mental health services, will have an information table.
This program is proudly presented by the African American Heritage Committee of the Chicago Public Library and by Mental Filmness, a Chicago-based film festival about mental health.
