join the world premiere on june 8, 2025
You are cordially invited to the world premiere of "United: the Hidden History of the Humble Duplex", an original short film from Director Anita Kwan and the Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio.
United tells the powerful story of how the modest duplex emerged as a symbol of middle-class strength and mobility at Columbus’ turn of the century. As segregation divided the country, the duplex was targeted and often outlawed throughout the region. But today, a new generation is reclaiming this architectural icon and reviving it as a tool for growth, wealth, and individuality.
Join us at Studio35 Cinema & Drafthouse on Sunday, June 8th to be the first to see this compelling work. Tickets are free to all.
Doors open at 12:30 PM and the film begins at 1:00 PM. The screening will be preceded by remarks from the Director and followed by a panel discussion among community leader about the role the duplex is posed to play in our future.
This is a family friendly, all-ages event. Red carpet attire is certainly not required, but never discouraged! Photography will be captured during the event.
