Blast from the Past - The Hoka Theater

For anyone who was in Oxford, Mississippi in the late 1970's, you'll love this documentary about The Hoka Theater.

Last spring while on an impromptu driving trip, I went to Oxford and looked for the Hoka. I was there when the Hoka got its start and many of my fondest memories are of hanging out with friends and occasionally running the old film projector.

It was gone, torn down a couple of years ago to make room for some new development. It made me sad. But I had lunch with Ron Shapiro, who gave me a copy of this film. I was delighted to find it online today and share it gleefully with any and all who would like to see.

Enjoy.
