KFP + Folkstreams Documentary Watch Parties

In the fall of 2020, as the Graduate Assistant at the Kentucky Folklife Program, I helped to organize four virtual “watch parties” of documentary films on KFP’s Facebook Live channel. I coordinated with Folkstreams to select films showcasing traditional culture in Kentucky and around the South, designed promotional materials, and arranged with scholars and filmmakers to provide interactive Q+As after each film. I moderated the live conversations, and audiences were able to to learn additional context about the process behind each film and the traditions they portray.
