The St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase, an annual presentation of the nonprofit Cinema St. Louis, serves as the area’s primary venue for films made by local artists. The Showcase screens works that were written, directed, edited, or produced by St. Louis natives or films with strong local ties. The various film programs that will screen at the Showcase range from full-length fiction features and documentaries to multi-film compilations of fiction and documentary shorts. Many programs include post-screening Q&As with filmmakers. Filmmakers of all ages within a 120 mile radius of St. Louis are strongly encouraged to submit their works, or at the very least attend the event to celebrate with us and the amazingly talented St. Louis filmmakers.

In the sometimes disturbing documentary REDNECKS + CULCHIES, shot entirely in St. Louis, the drugs and alcohol problems of the American working class are studied from the perspective of an Irish redneck. Tony Monaghan was raised in a large, poor family in rural western Ireland. With only five years of education, he left home as a teenage migrant worker to one day own and run a successful construction business in St. Louis, Missouri. Having overcome the most difficult of obstacles, he is baffled by the apathy and the substance abuse problems of American construction workers, a topic he explores in this personal documentary.

REDNECKS + CULCHIES will be shown Thursday, July 17th at 5:00pm at The Tivoli Theater
