The Greater Park Circle Film Society is hosting a community forum following its evening film, “Gospel Hill,” on June 13. Participating panelists include presidents of four neighborhood associations (Chicora-Cherokee, Liberty Hill, Oak Terrace Preserve, Olde North Charleston) and individuals representing groups involved in housing development in the area (Metanoia, Noisette Foundation, North Charleston Housing Authority, TCG Development). They, along with the audience, will react to the film and talk about various issues related to current and future development that affects the mosaic of neighborhoods within the community.

“Gospel Hill” was shot on location in South Carolina last year and stars Angela Bassett, Danny Glover, Adam Baldwin, Julia Stiles. This is story about struggle and reconciliation. It is about haunted men, the former sheriff of the southern town dealing with past sins and the former civil rights worker withdrawn since the martyrdom of his brother thirty years before. It is also about courageous women who confront the ghosts of their men’s pasts as they face an uncertain future with a proposed housing development that will displace a traditional neighborhood. This award-winning film is being shown at film festivals around the country.

Gospel Hill will be shown at the Olde North Charleston Picture House this Saturday at 4 and 7 p.m., with the community forum following the evening show. Tickets are $2 (members) $5 (non-members). Doors open 15 minutes before showtime at 1080 E. Montague
