some news: today, i’m excited to launch blackfilmarchive.com. this ever-expanding black film archive provides history and context to over 200 black films made from 1915 to 1979 currently streaming.
every description on the site is lovingly written & researched by me.

if you're referring to her howard masterclass, i agree. i'm interested in the complexity of that which cannot be defined and the doldrums of life unbound. as morrison says, "definitions belong to the definers, not the defined."
(masterclass is here: vimeo.com/203379245)

"Watching this revitalization of the director’s picture is like spending your entire life seeing the world in black and white and being introduced to color."
This restoration of Charles Burnett's MY BROTHER'S WEDDING is stunning.

A terrific event that I wish I could be at: the new restoration of Charles Burnett's tender, fierce, melancholy drama My Brother's Wedding is at @FilmForumNYC , and at 6pm he'll be there for a discussion with @mayascade of Milestone Films and the Black Film Archive.
