Join us for Screening Homegrown History, a two-part series of events that will explore the cultural value of home movies and give the community an opportunity to participate in producing an archival cultural history. The first event will launch a one-week preview (October 21 through 27) of Jewish Homegrown History, a multimedia installation that will open at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles on May 3, 2012, and at the Magnes Museum in Berkeley in September 2012.

Marsha Kinder, USC University Professor and founding director of the Labyrinth Project, will moderate a panel entitled “Participatory History and the Value of Home Movies.” Panelists will include documentary filmmaker Isaac Artenstein; Rosemary Comella, media artist and creative director of Jewish Homegrown History; William Deverell, professor of history at USC; Mark Jonathan Harris, documentary filmmaker and USC cinematic-arts professor; and George Sanchez, USC professor of American studies and ethnicity.
