Screening Juneteenth: The Emancipatory Project of Black Independent Cinema
This June and July, join us for a series of free film screenings in celebration of Juneteenth, featuring selections from the history of Black independent cinema. From the Gullah coasts and Louisiana marshes to LA boulevards and Texas suburbia, these films offer different stories in the ongoing anthology of African American life indelibly marked by the legacies of slavery and perpetually energized by the desire for freedom. As Black independent productions that both mobilize familiar cinematic techniques and forge new aesthetic directions, these films are themselves instances of the striving for freedom that Juneteenth calls on us to honor and enact.

A catered discussion will follow each screening. Free and open to all!
