The Quilters (2024) follows the daily lives of several quilters inside the sewing room at South Central Correctional Center, a Level 5 maximum security prison in a small town in Missouri. In tracking several quilts from design to completion, audiences come to know these men, witnessing their struggles, triumphs, and sense of pride as they create something beautiful in this windowless sacred space, deep within the prison walls. The film was recently shortlisted for the Documentary Short Film category for the 97th Academy Awards. The 32-minute screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director, Jenifer McShane. Jenifer has been a resident of Guilford and a fan of the Guilford Free Library for 22 years.
This program is co-sponsored with the Guilford Free Library and is free and open to all. Please register on the Guilford Free Library website, here.
