A Creative Response Contest centered on the book’s themes is open to local high school and college students\, who can submit an essay or multimedia project for the chance to win a cash prize.

SUMMARY:"Lift" Free Screening
DESCRIPTION:Free screening alert! \nJoin the Mississippi Film Society  on Thursday night\, March 20\, at 7 pm at the @capritheatre (where the new garage is now open for convenient parking) for a free screening of LIFT and an in-person conversation with director/producer David Peterson.\n\n\n\nFilmed over ten years\, LIFT shines a spotlight on the invisible story of homelessness in America through the eyes of a group of young homeless and home-insecure ballet dancers in New York City. After performing all over the world\, ballet dancer Steven Melendez returns to the Bronx shelter where he grew up to give back to his community\, offering a New York Theatre Ballet workshop to children. His traumatic reaction to the shelter from his childhood sends him on an unexpected journey with three kids to reckon with a past he had escaped from through ballet. As young dance students\, Victor\, Yolanssie\, and Sharia face the same chasm of home insecurity that long separated Steven from his audience and makes the arts inaccessible to so many kids who share his background. The children he mentors offer him insight into turning a hidden trauma into dance\, and together\, they make an aristocratic art form into an expression all their own.\n\n\n\nThanks to the @mshumanitiescouncil and @filmmississippi for co-sponsoring this screening\, which is part of @southartsorg @southerncircuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Since its inception in 1975\, Southern Circuit has brought influential independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South.\n\nThe program is made possible through a partnership with @neaarts.
