Brian Springer’s The Disappointment: Or, The Force of Credulity 3/17

Brian Springer, a friend of Antioch and Nonstop, cocreator of The Antioch Papers and partner of Antioch and Nonstop media arts professor Chris Hill, screens his documentary The Disappointment: Or, The Force of Credulity, about his search for buried treasure on his family’s Missouri farm, including 16th century Spanish gold, Civil War silver, and the diary of anarchist Kate Austin. Springer and Hill will both be there.

Thursday 3/17 at 6 p.m.
Gene Siskel Film Center
164 N. State St.

“Springer interweaves the stories surrounding these treasures with those of his family to spin a tale of spirit possession, Napalm, Indian massacres, early American opera, fanatical obsessions, 200 tons of dirt, and the way mothers try to protect their families from wounds that never heal.”
