DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH

A film made possible with the support of the 

NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION

​

The Lincoln Memorial attracts more than eight million visitors annually. Despite the monument's success, the sculptor who created it, Daniel Chester French, has been mostly overlooked and forgotten.​ French was a prominent artist during the American Renaissance, creating over two hundred monuments. ​The film focuses on several of French's notable works, including The Lafayette Memorial in Brooklyn, allegorical representations of Brooklyn and Manhattan in front of the Brooklyn Museum, The Four Continents on the façade of the US Customs House in Battery Park, The Millmore Memorial in Boston, and the Melvin Memorial in Concord, Mass. Finally, the film explores French's best-known work, the seated Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, a collaboration with architect Henry Bacon and the Piccirilli family of sculptors. HD | 60 minutes

A film made possible with the support of the 

The Joseph & Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation

Black Fiddlers is a documentary tracing the history and culture of African-American violinists in the United States. The film features interviews and performances by musicians who are descendants of Black fiddlers from the times of the Indian Wars and the Gold Rush, such as Joe and Odell Thomson. Black Fiddlers also showcase the work of Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson, and Earl White, who have revived and reinterpreted 300 years of Black music. Black Fiddlers draws on the expertise of local historians, academics, and award-winning authors like Kip Lornell and John J. Sullivan, who provide context and insight into the stories and songs of the Black Fiddlers. HD | 60 minutes
