Documentary Film Series

The Berkeley Documentary Film Series is organized by volunteers at the Hillside Club to provide a space in the City of Berkeley to see films and curate an informative, poignant, and sometimes challenging experience for the audience. Films are generally shown once per month from September to May.

April Film Screening

Wed., April 9, 7 p.m., the Berkeley Documentary Film Series features Skin of Glass, a film by Denise Zmekhol, an Arab-Brazilian, award-winning director whose documentary Children of the Amazon was broadcast on PBS. This new documentary starts with the discovery by the filmmaker that her late father's most celebrated work as an architect, a modernist glass skyscraper in the heart of Sao Paulo, has become occupied by hundreds of homeless families. Admission is $15 online or at the door, and $10 for club members, seniors and students.
