Black Film as Protest screening returns, launching a new season of contemporary radical filmmakers from the diaspora, starting with a special evening featuring Dwayne LeBlanc. The curation expands the discourse around the past, present, and future of the Black cinema canon.
Filmmakers include Dewayne LeBlanc, Divad Durant, Lu Stinnette, Donovan J. Gardner, Shantre Pinkney, Mattie Loyce, Aliyah Dunn-Salahudin, Jessica Jones, Ainslee Robson, B. Monét, and Maria Judice. These urgent artists are in conversation with one another, expanding the space of narrative, avant-garde garde, and experimental cinema through a Black lens. We are thrilled to relaunch this series with an incredible cohort of artists whose work is essential and urgent," said Maria Judice, founder of BlackMaria Microcinema and curator of Black Film as Protest.
Screening will take place at the BlackMaria Microcinema in the Mission & Tenderloin along with other participating venues. The program is in partnership with the African American Arts & Culture Complex.
