Moving Picture Series - "Folk" Screening

In partnership with the Echo Park Film Center

FREE | 8:00pm (7:30 gather time)

Location: Echo Park Lake at the Northwest corner of Glendale Blvd and Park Ave

 

"Folk!" is about the unique, acrobatic  ‘undergroundÂ’ world of Ukrainian folk dancing. An often funny peek at what it's like to grow up in a Ukrainian-American community, the documentary is relevant to anyone trying to balance ties to one's heritage and culture in a culturally homogenizing world.

 

Parking is available on surrounding streets.
