A conversation on the vast public record housed right here in Washington — historical photographs, civic documents, and primary sources anyone can access, often for free — and what it actually takes to turn an archive into a film. Lisa Warwick, the DC Public Library’s People’s Archivist, is joined by Marisa Fox, director of Double Exposure’s Closing Night film, My Underground Mother, and Bonnie Rowan, the archival researcher who helped unearth some of the buried records at the heart of Fox’s film. Come learn what’s actually in the archive, how to start using it for your own research, family history, or storytelling, and what it looks like when that research becomes a documentary. Moderated by filmmaker Doug Block, founder and co-host of The D-Word.
