Saturday, October 22nd | 3:30pm | 120 min | Discussion | The Invisible Dog Art Center
With: Manthia Diawara, Danny Glover
Co-presented with The Invisible Dog Art Center
Messrs Diawara and Glover will be exploring, on a thematic and existential register, the way relations are formed and uprooted in cinema. How are relations depicted, and according to what codes of presumed compliance or revolt, desire or disgust, necessity or chance, in the encounters that are thematized in African and African-American film? What are some of the back-stories and unrecorded affinities that have enabled or disturbed the emergence of the Black cinematic art?
