MCAD Professor and senior programmer for the Minnesota Film Society Craig Laurence Rice ’76 chose the film 40 Acres to be the debut film for Capri theatre’s new First Thursday Film Series. Rice has been working with the theater on the new monthly community driven series, curating films meant to spark discussion and reflection.

The movie, directed by R.T. Thorne, is an apocalyptic movie through a black and indigenous lens, meant to reflect their lived reality. A black and indigenous family living on a farm passed down through generations must defend their land from sickness and war while preserving the knowledge and culture that keeps them alive.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
