Happy anniversary!! 🎊πŸ₯³ I love your analysis about the importance of not reducing Black cinema to one thing (especially a capitalist kind of nostalgia). I feel very grateful to be here as I went to film school, and of course the film history they offered was white centric and reductive....You know the feeling of mourning something you’ve never had access to? ❀️‍πŸ”₯

Happy Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s only been two years? This platform has become so essential to me. I’m so appreciative of you Maya and your work.

I cannot narrow down what has been my favorite film I’ve been turned on to from the Archive but I am hugely grateful for the recommendation to view the anthropological work of Zora Neale Hurston!
