FILM

Join PRH (Project Row Houses)  for our Monthly Movie Night & Discussion, this month featuring the film A Well Spent Life.

About the film:
Many people consider Texas bluesman Mance Lipscomb to be the greatest blues guitarist and songster of all time. This glowing portrait of the legendary musician (also life-long husband and sharecropper) is among Blank's special masterworks. Instead of growing bitter, tough times made Lipscomb sweet. 

44 minutes. The favorite film of Kurt Vonnegutt, Jr.

 Following the movie will be a discussion facilitated by Melissa Noble, a Houston native, makeup artist, hairstylist and amateur photographer for more than 25 years. She was a featured artist in Project Row Houses’ Round 14 where she recreated a café in the old blues community, consisting of a photo documentary and information of existing and former establishments. Her documentation continued after the installation and through the process she became friends with legendary documentary filmmaker Les Blank.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Movie begins at 6:45 p.m.

The location is 2521 Holman Street, Houston, TX 77004.
