World of Black
Film: Revolutions

The World of Black Film: Revolutions is a weekly film series co-presented with Criterion Collection Curatorial Director Ashley Clark. Its selection spans the 1960s to the early 1980s, when Black filmmakers stepped behind the camera in significant numbers. The films range from a musical set on a slave ship to a French New Wave-influenced fantasy-drama and a vérité-style portrait of working-class solidarity. Tickets are $15 and include the movie, snacks, and free gallery admission. Ticket holders can also purchase Clark's book, The World of Black Film, at a discounted price at YBCA's front desk. Films screen every Saturday at 2pm, from 11/14 through 1/16.
