Cameron Art Museum (CAM) in Wilmington, North Carolina, has announced a new film series called CAM at the Movies, produced in partnership with the Cucalorus Film Foundation. The series will take place at Jengo’s Playhouse and feature screenings paired with live conversations with artists, curators, and cultural leaders. The lineup includes three films: "Legacy" (June 26), a short film about the United States Colored Troops; Andy Warhol's "Flesh for Frankenstein" (August 28); and "Always Looking: Titus Brooks Heagins" (December 11), a documentary about the photographer's work. Each screening will be accompanied by discussions with filmmakers, curators, and museum staff, connecting the films to CAM's current exhibitions.
This partnership matters because it extends the museum's exhibitions into a community cinema space, deepening audience engagement with art through film and dialogue. By linking visual art with cinematic storytelling, CAM creates new entry points for visitors and reinforces its commitment to regional narratives and contemporary voices. The series also highlights the museum's ongoing work interpreting local history, such as the legacy of the United States Colored Troops, and expands the cultural offerings of the Cape Fear region.
