Secret Mall Apartment
A highly entertaining commentary on artistic expression and creativity, SECRET MALL APARTMENT unspools a wild story!
In 2003, eight Rhode Island artists created a secret apartment inside the busy Providence Place Mall and lived there for four years, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity and even smuggled in two tons of cinderblock to construct a wall. Far more than just a wild prank, the space became a deeply meaningful place for its inhabitants. It was a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of art and a clubhouse in which large-scale charitable projects were planned. Featuring never-before-seen footage and revealing the identities of all the participants for the first time, SECRET MALL APARTMENT is more than just a bonkers true story – it is a poignant exploration of a group of artists who discovered their purpose within the walls of an unlikely place.DocumentaryPT1H31MNR2025-05-16Michael Townsend
