Undermain presents a mini festival of documentaries focusing on African American artists from Texas and around the country, produced by Documentary Arts and directed by Alan Govenar, coauthor of "Lonesome Blues." Included in the films we will feature are Deep Ellum Blues, Osceola Mays: Stories, Songs, and Poems; Little Willie Eason and his Talking Gospel Guitar; Black on White/White on Black; The Hard Ride: Black Cowboys at the Circle 6 Ranch; Cigarette Blues; You Don’t Need Feet to Dance and a special screening of the short film "Bird Brains," directed by Kaleta Doolin (with camera by Govenar.) This is a rare opportunity to view these films featuring individuals and artists, who have made enduring contributions to the vitality of our cultural life.
Founded in 1985 by Alan Govenar to present new perspectives on historical issues and diverse cultures, Documentary Arts, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas and New York City. Between 1992 and 2001, Documentary Arts operated the 5501 Columbia Art Center with Contemporary Culture, a non-profit organization founded by Kaleta Doolin. Still located in East Dallas, the main office of Documentary Arts and Contemporary Culture organized numerous exhibitions, installations, and public programs, and both organizations continue to have an active role in the arts.
