A year-long retrospective series on the 1990's 'New Black Realism' filmmaking wave that changed cinema - and audiences - forever. 


"These filmmakers reimagined genre, breathed new life into an old legacy of cinematic realism, and blew open the space between fiction and the real."  

-Roya Rastegar, co-curator
