Indie Wednesday Film Series
Weekly film screenings hosted by Indie Memphis. Films will screen at Crosstown Arts, Malco’s Studio on the Square, and Ridgeway Theatre on a rotating basis.
This week: Rat Film — Across walls, fences, and alleys, rats not only expose our boundaries of separation but make homes in them. Rat Film is a feature-length documentary that uses the rat — as well as the humans who love them, live with them, and kill them — to explore the history of Baltimore.
The film will be followed with a Q&A with director Theo Anthony. Admission is pay-what-you-can.
Travel Talk: Ultimate Journeys for Two
National Geographic authors, HoneyTrek bloggers, and the world’s longest honeymooners, Mike & Anne Howard, are coming to Memphis. Join them for an afternoon of travel inspiration, tips, and tricks as they chat about their highly acclaimed new book Ultimate Journeys for Two.
Drawing on their experience traveling together across seven continents for six years straight, they curate the globe and offer tested-and-approved recommendations for couples, bringing culture, adventure, and romance to any pair — no matter their age or budget.
Hustle: Critical Art Writing
Why is critical art writing an important part of the thriving arts scene? What does relevant critical writing look like? Who does it? How can you do it? Professor Virginia Solomon will help us explore this important topic.

Black Lodge’s HALLOWEEN PANDEMONIUM FEST
When the old Black Lodge closed to find a new home, they held our biggest Halloween party to date. They decided it was to be their last, until they were ready to return.
That time has finally come. As Lodge prepares its new home to open this New Year’s, they invite you to join them in celebrating their return at Halloween Pandemonium. Their RE-birthday, if you will.
Words Matter
Words Matter is a collaboration of creative minds. There are several teams, each beginning the creative process with a literary contribution from a writer. From there, a combination of artists and performers extend that creation into their own media — visual artists, musicians, dancers, actors, photographers, fashion artists, and filmmakers find collective expression from the language.
