LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — This year, Filmland in Little Rock may be the most exciting yet, with plenty of special guests, exciting panels, and of course, great stories.
Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo will attend the Southern Storytellers Panel, where he will be honored with a special award on Sunday, August 18. He'll then join Arkansas Cinema Society co-founder Jeff Nichols, co-writer Clint Bentley, and producer Monique Walton for a Q+A after Sing Sing.
The film weaves a story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. Sing Sing follows the story of a man imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, but finds purpose in a theatre group among other incarcerated men.
