A PROGRAM OF LOGAN CENTER’S DIGITAL STORYTELLING INITIATIVE

This film series happens on Sundays, Jul 9-Aug 27, 1-4pm / Screening Room
Seating is limited; please RSVP

The film is a poetic examination of the meaning of jazz, Black American music, and the function of Black people in America. Uses dramatic dialogue, direct address argumentation, realist documentary illustration, an innovative music soundtrack, and essayistic construction to argue for jazz music as an expression of the situation of Black Americans. Seeing jazz as both empowering and limiting, the film is an acute and even painful statement of its political, social, cultural, and artistic moment. Learn more >>

The afternoon’s screenings also include Remembrance: A Portrait Study (Edward Owens, 1959) and selections from the film vault of the South Side Home Movie Project.
