Experience the magic of 16mm film through curated screenings from the Miami-Dade Public Library System’s Special Collections.

Vincent Nastasi, museum registrar at The Barnacle Historic State Park, will offer a guided tour of the library exhibit space and give unique insights into the collection, from 6 PM to 7 PM.

For this outdoor event, attendees are welcome to bring picnics, lawn seating or blankets.

This event is free and open to viewers age 14 and above.

We watch a selection of five short films, with the highlight being:

CALLING MIAMI HOME, 1984; 23 MIN.

Directed by Mel Kiser.

Some long-time Miami residents reflect on the impact of uncontrolled development in South Florida. Not only can the natural environment be ruined, but continual redevelopment prevents the permanence necessary to cultivate a sense of place. Those interviewed are: Al Rantel, Art Simon, Marjory Stoneman Souglas, Sgt. Lee Haddon, Beth Dunlop, and Arva Moore Parks.
