As part of our YesterdayLA series, The Philosophical Research Society's 7th House Screenings invites you to join us for a very special evening exploring the cinematic ark of Ben Caldwell — pioneering filmmaker, transmedia artist, and founder of Leimert Park's enduring community arts center! For over fifty years, Los Angeles legend Ben Caldwell has created films and works of media art that explore the complexity and beauty of the African Diaspora and which transport audiences through the past, present and future.
