The Making of 'Regeneration' Public Lecture

Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898 – 1971 explores the rich history of Black participation in American cinema, from its beginnings to just past the civil rights movement and the dawn of the so-called Blaxploitation era. Join the exhibition’s co-curators Doris Berger and Rhea L. Combs as they discuss behind-the-scenes insights into their five-year journey of archival research and conversations with artists and filmmakers to create this groundbreaking exhibition, which seeks to revive lost or forgotten films, filmmakers, and performers for a contemporary audience.
