Real Films by Reel Sisters: A Conversation on Race, Justice & Politics in Film Presented by African Voices

Reel Sisters, the first Brooklyn-based festival devoted to women of color, has supported and showcased more than 1,200 films by women filmmakers over two decades. This evening of powerful and inspiring short films produced, directed and written by women of color honors the 20th Anniversary of Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival & Lecture Series and offers film lovers a chance to meet revolutionary women who are re-shaping the film industry. Panelists to be announced.

African Voices presents an exciting evening of short films produced, directed and written by women of color! In honor of Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival & Lecture Series 20th Anniversary.  On Tuesday October 3, 7pm we will show five powerful shorts by women directors that range from fashion and inspirational slices of life stories to the poignant story of a couple grieving over their son’s untimely murder by a cop and a jury weighing whether to convict cops in a police brutality case.

Join us for the screening of Proclamation Punctuation directed by Sewra G. Kidane; Love, New York directed by Dionna McMillian; See Me Now directed by Sharon Lewis; The Creed Directed by Stacey Muhammad with producers Marc Lamont Hill, Michael A. Pinckney and Wendell Jordan; and /smokd/ directed by Tamika Miller.

Kim Singleton, a member of Reel Sisters Advisory Board and host of Consider It Blacklit, will moderate a conversation on Race, Justice and Politics with filmakers including Michael A. Pinckney (The Bad Boys of R&B & Precious) and more.
