Following a live musical performance by "Detroit Rebellion," a contributor to the bluesy-folk soundtrack of their documentary Old House Soul, award-winning filmmakers Don Manley and Michel Schtakleff will screen their first installment of this "work-in-progress," focusing on the preservation of Moffett Mill. They will also show a piece that documents Don Manley's restoration of his house in Foster, Rhode Island.
Old House Soul is a film about the late preservationist Steve Tyson Sr. and the tradition of architectural preservation in Rhode Island. Tyson's company, Architectural Preservation Group was established in 1978 and is responsible for preserving hundreds of historic sites, buildings, and houses across our state. Part of RIIFF's Roving Eye Documentary series, this film earned directors Don Manley and Michel Schtakleff an Emerging Eye First Time Director Award at the 2008 Rhode Island International Film Festival.
