The Sunflower Theatre in Cortez will screen the documentary Secret Mall Apartment at 7PM on Friday, May 2nd. Details and tickets are available at sunflowertheatre.org.

Winner of 2024 Calgary International Film Festival for Best Documentary Feature and Special Jury Prize for Artistic Subversion. The documentary follows eight Rhode Islanders who created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and kept it going for four years, filming everything along the way. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret mall apartment became an incredibly meaningful act for all the participants, at once an act of defiance against local gentrification, and a boundary-pushing work of public/private art.
