DFP Professor Zaluski Screens Theirs is the Kingdom

Join us Tuesday in the ZSR Auditorium (Floor 4) to watch Associate Professor Christopher Zaluski’s most recent film, Theirs Is The Kingdom. The film follows the rare creation of the Haywood Street Fresco, a contemporary fresco mural inside the sanctuary of a small church in Asheville, NC. This is a painting not of the rich and powerful, but of people battling homelessness, addiction, and mental illness. From first sketch to final unveiling, the viewer witnesses the difficulties of this ancient artistic technique while also meeting an ensemble cast of complex characters.

The film premiered on PBS WORLD Channel last spring and screened at more than 15 festivals around the country. A Q&A with professor Zaluski will follow the screening. Hope to see you there!
