Afternoon - Award Winning Doc on Interracial Couple - Anacostia The Loving Story (2011; 77 min)
2:00pm - 3:30pm
This award-winning documentary tells the dramatic story of Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple living in Virginia in the 1950s. Their landmark 1967 Supreme Court Case, Loving vs Virginia served to invalidate a Virginia state law prohibiting interracial marriage. Discussion with a museum educator follows the film. (P.S. If this film interests you, you may also be interested in watching this short 13 minute film about interracial couples and bi-racial kids. Some friends of mine who live in NY are featured in it too.)

Afternoon - Film on Brazilian Music at the NGA - Archives
Film Series: Cruzamentos: Contemporary Brazilian Documentary: A Night in '67
2:30pm - 4:00pm
Passion ruled at the 1967 Festival of Brazilian Popular Music, an event that forever changed Brazilian music and, ultimately, the world’s musical history. Music “festivals” of that era, famous for biased, rowdy audiences, were televised competitions that launched careers. A Night in ’67 documents the moment when the still-forming tropicália movement was first presented to the TV public, with captivating performances by Sérgio Ricardo, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Os Mutantes. (Ricardo Calil and Renator Terra, 2010, 85 minutes)
