Hey you guys!
Today from 4-6pm, we’ll be holding our first film club zoom meeting of the semester! With the theme centering Black history month and Black films, our first discussion will be based around concepts and ideas commonly seen within films that have to do with Black individuals within films. So, think about common(and different) themes that could be found within films from Moonlight or Black Panther or One Night in Miami.
I’ll send out a link for the zoom call and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or message me! You can drop in at anytime! Can’t wait to see you there!
