Film Screening & Talkback: ‘The House of Light’
November 30 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The House of Light is a poetic short film directed by Erica Sutherlin and produced by Christopher Ahrendt-Mansilla. The film focuses on one group’s role in shaping the future of national identity: Black women. Sutherlin worked with dozens of Pinellas community members to create the short film. Join us for an evening screening at The Studio@620, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers about the work, the women at its heart, and the stories it carries. Admission is free, but seating is limited.
Sutherlin is a filmmaker, theatrical director and the Artistic Executive Director of The Studio@620. She is one of six artists Creative Pinellas selected to receive a 2026 National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) America250 grant to create new projects that reflect on the history, present, and future of the country.
