Appalshop started as a film workshop in 1969, and 50 years later we're still making films about Appalachia and so much more. We're a radio station, a theater, a public art gallery, a record label, an archive, a filmmaking institute, a community development program — telling our stories, in our voices, on our terms. #appalachia #appalachians #appalachianmountains #mountain #mountainlife #mountainpeople #mountainstories #mountainart #mountainmusic #easternkentucky #community #film #filmmaking #development #artgallery

Making art and media in the mountains since 1969
Über uns
Appalshop started as a film workshop in 1969, and 50 years later we're still making films about Appalachia. We also operate a radio station, a theater, a public art gallery, a record label, a professional archive, a filmmaking institute, and a community development program — all aimed at documenting and revitalizing the traditions and creativity of the people of these mountains. We tell stories that commercial industries don’t tell. We challenge stereotypes with Appalachian voices. And we do it all with artists who are from and committed to this region. Stream one of our films, come take in a live performance, or tune into our radio station from anywhere in the world.

“Encountering prejudice against hillbillies and briars, difficulties in adjustment to the urban environment, the role of extended kin in easing adjustment problems, and the contrasts in men’s and women’s experiences are all touched on … provides excellent narration on the history of black people in the region. Useful for dealing with the effects of economic change, migration, and ethnic identity.”— American Anthropologist Watch "Long Journey Home" here on YouTube: https://loom.ly/EnMSu7s 📸 Appalshop, "Long Journey Home," Elizabeth Barret, 1987 #MigrationStories #CoalMining #EthnicDiversity #AfricanAmericanHeritage #Industrialization #Appalachia #Appalachians #AppalachianMountains #Mountain #MountainLife #MountainPeople #MountainStories #MountainArt #MountainMusic #EasternKentucky #Nonprofit #Documentary #DocumentaryFilm #DocumentaryFilmmaking #DocumentaryFilmmaker #Indie #IndieFilm

Over 100 years ago today marks the end of the largest labor uprising in US history and one of the only times in recorded US history that Americans have been bombed on US soil during the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921. Private planes may have dropped the bombs, but the message was clear - the government would go to extreme lengths against Appalachians fighting for fair wages, fair housing, and fair working conditions.

"Long Journey Home" delves into Appalachian ethnic diversity, migration, and the choices to stay, leave, or return. European immigrants recall the 1910s coal boom, while African-Americans share stories of transitioning from sharecropping to coal camps. All faced dispersal as automation took jobs.

Appalachia is the often-forgotten headwaters of labor organizing and worker-driven power in this country, from the Battle of Blair Mountain, to Bloody Harlan, to current labor struggles all over the region today. Today we remember and link arms in solidarity with all who came before us and all the hellraising left to do. #appalachia #appalachians #appalachianmountains #mountain #mountainlife #mountainpeople #mountainstories #mountainart #mountainmusic #easternkentucky

The UMW strike made famous in "Harlan County, USA" finally ended on August 30, 1974 after more than a year. They persisted for months despite being shot at & undermined by strike breakers. We remember them today — and all those fighting in our mountains for a better life. 📸 Appalshop Archive, Robert Gumpert, 1973
