Free Film Screening: Isaac Julien's BaadAsssss Cinema
Thursday, September 9, 2010, 6:30 pm
BaadAsssss Cinema examines the short-lived, but deeply influential, flourishing of commercial black independent film making in the early 1970s, which became known as "blaxploitation." Filled with fragments and contributions from luminaries of the time, including actors Pam Grier and Fred Williamson, directors Melvin Van Peebles and Gordon Parks Jr., contemporary fans Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson, and critics like bell hooks, the documentary sets the films of the period in context.
This screening is free with first-come, first-served seating available in the Charles and Jane Lehner Auditorium. For more information call 330.376.9186 x230.
