longleafCongratulations to DFP Associate Teaching Professor Chris Zaluski on his Best Feature Documentary win at the Longleaf Film Festival! Zaluski’s film, Theirs is the Kingdom, follows the rare creation of a contemporary fresco mural inside the sanctuary of a small church in Asheville, NC, examining the intersection of poverty and portraiture. This is a painting not of the rich and powerful, but of people battling homelessness, addiction, and mental illness.

The film will screen next Sunday at Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) as an official selection of the RiverRun Film Festival.
