The St. Louis International Film Festival screens Southern Rites at the Missouri History Museum as part of its Mean Streets: Viewing the Divided City Through the Lens of Film and Television initiative.

Presented in partnership with Missouri History Museum and The Common Reader

Mean Streets is a program of The Divided City: An Urban Humanities Initiative. With the support of the Mellon Foundation, Washington U.’s Center for the Humanities, in partnership with the College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design, is engaged in a four-year initiative called The Divided City, which addresses one of the most persistent and vexing issues in urban studies: segregation.

Following the screen there will be an Q&A with the Director, Gillian Laub.

The event is free and open to the public.
