Arts Circle and Film Lover Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Raven Jackson and producer Maria Altamirano, moderated by Imani Davis (2023 Project Involve Fellow; Programmer, American Cinematheque).

Beverages will be served prior to the screening, starting at 7:00 pm PT.

Three of the filmmakers behind All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt are Film Independent Fellows: writer/director Raven Jackson (2020 Fast Track, 2023 Episodic Directing Intensive); producer Maria Altamirano (2020 Fast Track, 2020 Producing Lab, 2023 Imaginar Producers Residency); and cinematographer Jomo Fray (Project Involve 2017; Grant recipient 2019, 2020).

This year we’re celebrating #AD30, in recognition of our three-decade journey working with and for independent artists. Join the celebration and donate today to support our next 30 years of Artist Development.
 
A lyrical, decades-spanning exploration across a woman’s life in Mississippi, the feature debut from award-winning poet, photographer and filmmaker Raven Jackson, is a haunting and richly layered portrait – a beautiful ode to the generations of people and places that shape us.

The film was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival, San Sebastian Film Festival, New York Film Festival, London Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, Indie Memphis Film Festival and AFI Film Festival.

From A24, All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt will be released in theaters on November 3.
