Raising Renee, a film about Beverly McIver's family, her painting and the lines of force that cross between them, screens at Full Fram Documentary Film Festival on Friday at 2 p.m. in Fletcher Hall.
McIver lives in Durham and teaches art at North Carolina Central University. She was born in Greensboro just after the lunch counter sit-ins, and the murder of five anti-KKK protesters happened in front of her house in the projects when she was 17. She's now a nationally known painter, having had solo shows throughout the country. The North Carolina Museum of Art will show a retrospective of McIver's work this December.
