Cultural Significance of Fort McClellan and Inspiration from Hobson City and the Chitlin' Circuit

Located on the grounds of Fort McClellan, a former U.S. Army training base with a storied history, Kemet Movie Works is built on land that once served as a hub of national significance. Established in 1917, Fort McClellan was instrumental during World War II and beyond. Now, this land is reimagined as a space for creativity, where the art of storytelling thrives.

Just miles from Hobson City, Alabama’s first Black-run municipality, Kemet Movie Works draws inspiration from the resilience and legacy of Black culture in the region. The area is also rooted in the history of the Chitlin’ Circuit, a network of venues that fostered the talents of Black performers like James Brown, Aretha Franklin, and B.B. King during the segregation era. This cultural lineage informs Kemet’s mission to amplify diverse voices in film, television, and music.

Our Mission

Kemet Movie Works is committed to fostering creativity, promoting diversity, and providing filmmakers, musicians, and event organizers with the resources and space to bring their stories to life. We honor the legacy of those who came before us while supporting the innovative visions of today’s creators.
