No Festival Required – Hollywood’s Architect – The Paul R. Williams Story
Join us for an exclusive screening by No Festival Required of a powerful documentary by Royal K. Rodgers, Kathy McCampbell Vance, and Shirlyn Cesar, celebrating the life and legacy of Paul R. Williams—the trailblazing African American architect who defied racial barriers to shape the skylines of Los Angeles and beyond.
Discover how Williams navigated the challenges of segregation to design some of the most iconic homes, hotels, and civic landmarks of the 20th century, leaving an indelible mark on modern architecture. His story is one of determination, ingenuity, and cultural impact—a must-see for anyone passionate about design, history, and resilience.
Following the screening, engage in an insightful post-film Q&A with the directors and producers, moderated by NOMA AZ President Omar Bailey. This is an opportunity to dive deeper into Williams’s journey, his influence on contemporary practice, and what his legacy means for architects today.
Don’t miss this inspiring evening—come be part of the conversation! Food and drinks are available for purchase before and after the screening.
