Atlantan Robert Persons presents his directorial debut, General Orders No. 9, which is a thoughtful piece on the state of Georgia and its cultural, moral and geographical birthright, rendered through examination of historical maps, architectural artifacts, lyrical narration and exquisite landscape cinematography. In synthesizing a mixture of imagery and iconography vital to reconciling the cultural and territorial identity of Georgia, and by proxy the entire American South, Persons traces a spellbinding genealogy that is both uniquely American and unforgettable.
Chris Hoke, the film's composer, will perform the score accompanying the screening, which will be followed by a Q&A session.
