In conjunction with the opening of Kristen Stewart’s THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER (opening Fri, Feb 6) and presented in collaboration with The Porch, this workshop provides an introduction to expressive writing, a therapeutic, research-backed approach to writing for healing and deeper self-understanding.

This Belcourt 100 seminar reveals a century of filmmaking shaped by Black Nashvillians, examining the actors, directors, writers, exhibitors and theaters that fostered Black cinema culture during and after Jim Crow segregation — and traces how Nashville’s Black creatives used the moving image to reflect lived experience and shape cultural identity, positioning Music City as an overlooked center of African American cinema. Includes a screening of STORMY WEATHER immediately following at 8:00pm.
