TIME & SPACE LIMITED Appalshop Film Festival
This August we will be showcasing Appalshop films for our August film festival. Appalshop is a media, arts, and education center located in Whitesburg, Kentucky, in the heart of the southern Appalachian region of the United States. Founded in 1969 as a project of the government’s War on Poverty, Appalshop established itself as the primary hub of filmmaking in and about Appalachia, and since that time, has produced more than one hundred films, covering such subjects as coal mining, the environment, traditional culture, and the economy – topics that resonate with TSL’s community. Appalshop produces theater, music, and spoken-word recordings, photography, multimedia, and books. Since 1985, Appalshop has also operated WMMT-FM (Mountain Community Radio), a radio station located in Whitesburg, Kentucky which serves central Appalachia with music and programming relevant to the region and its culture.
