Anderson. It explores a deeply personal concept the artist has termed “return to self,” the sometimes painful spiritual journey to reclaim the freedom, passion, and possibility of childhood as an adult. Anderson shot the film in Columbus County, North Carolina, where her grandmother was born and her extended family still lives. Settled by British colonizers and named after Christopher Columbus, the area’s violent and racist history is compounded by Anderson’s own difficult familial past there. Nevertheless, it is the place where family has repeatedly gathered over the years to find moments of healing and joy. Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home unites new footage, archival imagery, and intergenerational interviews, presenting their alchemical combination as a quiet call to greater self-acceptance and a transmutation of generational curses into blessings.About the FilmmakerJ.J. Anderson is a self-taught filmmaker who focuses on creating loving representations of Black and Brown youth in the media. Much of her work explores the deeper aspects of culture, community, and intergenerational healing practices that preserve our unique spirits. After attending Tuskegee University, J.J. completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics at Cal State Northridge and co-founded the Los Angeles-based production company HRDWRKER. Through HRDWRKER, J.J. and the small but mighty team developed a range of intentional content for entities such as The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, ARRAY, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, among others. J.J.’s first feature film, Sacred Soil: The Piney Woods School Story, produced in collaboration with Andscape, is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+. The project delves into the minds and worlds of a group of students at a historically Black boarding school in Mississippi while celebrating the simplicity of their brilliant existence and the school's fortitude. Her debut solo museum exhibition, Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home, opened at the California African American Museum in August 2025 and is now traveling. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tuskegee/sometimes-i-feel-like-i-am-almost-home-film-screening-and-community-symposium/100001997803900245 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, business, sports, exhibitions, health-wellness, literary-art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 1510 Washington Ave - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tuskegee - **state**: AL - **country**: United States - **location**: 1510 Washington Ave - **lat**: 32.42830259999999 - **long**: -85.718092 - **full address**: 1510 Washington Ave, 1510 Washington Avenue, Tuskegee, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home Film Screening & Community Symposium - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/427db0f53916ecabb98419a27b81356cbcbd70a5e8fffff8bdc68bd959edb85f-rimg-w1200-h675-dc181818-gmir.jpg?v=1786638335 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home Film Screening & Community Symposium being held? - **A:** Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home Film Screening & Community Symposium takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 1510 Washington Ave, 1510 Washington Avenue, Tuskegee, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home Film Screening & Community Symposium? - **A:** Sometimes I Feel Like I Am Almost Home Film Screening & Community Symposium is organized by The Almost Home Experience. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
