| George Stoney |
Wednesday, February 23, 2011, Door Opens 6:30 pm. In conjunction with its first slate of classes this spring The Plaza Media Arts Center will name one of its programs "The George Stoney School of Documentary Filmmaking," honoring local veteran George Stoney's achievements and contributions to society. This program represents the convergence of journalism, social activism and the art of filmmaking. After the reception George Stoney, who has made over 100 documentaries, will introduce one of his earlier films, "All My Babies." In 2002 the Library of Congress deemed the film a "culturally, historically and artistically significant work" and included it in the National Film Registry. Filmed in 1952 in the deep south amidst racial tensions, George Stoney ventured in with a camera crew to follow the practices of midwife "Miss Mary" Coley, an African-American, as she delivered babies. Screened as a landmark film for its realistic artistry this film has also been used around the world by UNESCO. Movie goer's will receive a 15% discount on dinner and complementary popcorn and soda.
