Join the San Antonio Food Policy Council for a free community screening. Let’s watch, reflect, and dream together!
Across our city, schools have closed—leaving behind empty buildings, lost gathering spaces, and communities wondering what comes next. These closures didn’t just disrupt education. They removed after-school programs, food access sites, and gathering spaces of neighborhood events.
This screening is an invitation to come together—to watch, to listen, and to imagine what could be.

About the Film:
An original production by Borderless Studio and On The Real Film, Beyond Closure revisits the 2013 shutdown of 50 Chicago public schools, the largest mass closure in U.S. history. It explores how inequity, racism, and injustice shaped the process, while highlighting community-led efforts to reclaim and transform these spaces. Through the stories of Emmet, Woods, and Overton schools (located in West and Southside), the documentary reflects on the struggles, setbacks, and triumphs of residents pursuing redevelopment through self-determination. This film is presented through the story of Creative Grounds, a community-led initiative by Borderless Studio that reimagines the role of school buildings and grounds in the wake of Chicago’s unprecedented closures.
