Community Film Screening: State of the Unity with Arkansas Cinema Society
Community Conversation Film
APR 11, 5 - 9 PM
Location: Great Hall
Free Event with registration
In a time when society is deeply frayed by division and when civic engagement is waning we invite you to join us in this groundbreaking evening of film and music.
We will be presenting the award-winning film State of the Unity alongside a Q&A with Directors Jillian Speece and Nathaniel Paul Hoff. After the Q&A discussion Speece and Hoff (known as The Bergamot band) will perform two live songs from the original soundtrack.
This event will focus on civic engagement, freedom in democracy and the role art plays in healing our divided nation. Be a part of this innovative presentation of film and music that took Directors Speece and Hoff eight years to create.
Recently, State of the Unity was presented at 38 film festivals (nationally and internationally) and won 20 prestigious awards including the Grand Jury Award and Best Feature Documentary at the prestigious Las Cruces International Film Festival.
State of the Unity landed a Northern America distribution deal with Freestyle Digital Media, a division of Allen Media Group in Los Angeles. State of the Unity has been seen in Variety, LA Times, DocNYC and more.

The Bergamot Biography
The Bergamot is comprised of Brooklyn based husband-wife duo Nathaniel Hoff and Jillian Speece. They are high-school sweethearts who fell in love in the heartland. These indie-folk rock singer-songwriters combine golden era folk harmonies, 60's costal rock vibes, with modern snyths.
On October 20th, 2017 The Bergamot released the dreamy anthem P.D.R. (Both Records LLC). The single launched the band's career who was then discovered by Matt Wiggins (Adele, U2, Florence and the Machine) and achieved great reviews being called "The hottest emerging music talent" (People) and "a gorgeous sound" (Daily Mirror).
Fans have discovered the band through an unbelievable series of music videos released to promote the new album "MAYFLIES". The videos have been heralded by music critics as "Lush" (PARADE) and "The Perfect Blend" (EARMILK). These groundbreaking videos have brought light to difficult topics and continued to build upon the band's momentum from "P.D.R.". The videos have garnered over 150k views on YouTube.
In recent months, The Bergamot revealed the fascinating "Bones" video filmed by evolve Films. The entire music video was filmed underwater and marks a poignant message about depressions and suicide. The glitches of the video reflect a fragmented perspective and touch the viewer in an empathetic and revealing way. After making the band's UK debut in The Daily Record and The Daily Mirror, the band is being heralded as "one of 2019 finest" (mp3hugger) and a band that "We’ve been lauding for years" (Atwood Magazine).
The stream of singles released this year has set the world stage for The Bergamot. The next album, "Mayflies" is set to be the biggest release in the group's history. The band has announced a full U.S. tour this fall, more music videos upcoming, all the while the band's fanbase grows by the day. It's been an overnight success that has been 10 years in the making.
