March 23, 2019, Saturday - "Demolition Dreaming" DVD Release at Eat My Words Books
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Eat My Words Books, 214 13th Avenue NE
From the mind of Jim Akre comes a new film entitled Demolition Dreaming.
The Gateway District was a Minneapolis neighborhood near downtown that was completely demolished in the late 1950's and early 1960's as part of the city's urban renewal program. That lost part of the city inspired local animator John Akre to create "Demolition Dreaming," an animated feature film with a score by Dreamland Faces and narration by Jill Underwood. Akre will present images and videos about the Gateway District and his film at "Eat My Words!" bookshop on Saturday, March 23 at 7 pm. DVDs of the film will be for sale at the event.
"Demolition Dreaming," begins and ends at the site of the Quarry Shopping Center in Northeast Minneapolis. The movie is a fantasy of the Minneapolis Gateway District, a part of the city that was removed without trace. The movie tells the story of a sign-painter and his family. They run a residence hotel, in which live some other characters of the Gateway.
