L.A. Film Festival: Paint It Black: African American Film Now
- This is a past program
A discussion with Stephanie Allain (Producer, Black Snake Moan/Hustle & Flow) and other guests, moderated by Elvis Mitchell.
What defines a film as African American? Can films about Black characters, produced by white filmmakers be considered ”Black films”? Are African American filmmakers entitled (or restricted) to only make stories about Black characters? Join us as prominent African American filmmakers talk about their work and explore defining moments in contemporary Black cinema.
