The World of Black Film: “Compensation” + Book Signing
Join us for a screening of Compensation (1999), part of an evening celebrating Black cinema with author and Criterion Collection Curatorial Director Ashley Clark. In his groundbreaking new book The World of Black Film: A Journey Through Cinematic Blackness in 100 Films, Clark embarks on a survey of important and influential Black films spanning more than 100 years and 30 countries.
YBCA and BAVC (Bay Area Video Coalition) are thrilled to introduce this expansive work to the Bay Area through a screening of Compensation, directed by Zeinabu irene Davis, a landmark of American independent cinema that confronts the social forces and prejudices that hinder love. A talkback between Clark and Davis will follow the screening.
