Modern Film Fest will host two FREE short film screenings at 9 p.m. Friday at the Davis Theater, 65 Union St., Concord, after the art walk. The Cabarrus Arts Council will screen The Projection Room directed by John Sevier Austin and features scenes of the classic Gem Theatre and downtown Kannapolis back in the days of Cannon Mills, Kannapolis, NC 1887-2003. “The Projection Room” looks at the dying art of projection, as digital machinery replaces human expertise in virtually all theaters

After watching The Projection Room at 9 p.m. Friday at the Davis Theater, 65 Union St., Concord, check out the second FREE screening with the short film Firewall of Sound which explores how the digital age has impacted the music industry.
