Despite a muted reception back in May 1994 — certainly compared to Spike Lee’s previous film “Malcolm X” — “Crooklyn” has endured for three decades as one of the director’s most treasured films.
At the time, Spike Lee was still in the first decade of his career as a director, and “Crookyln” marked his seventh film in nine years with his “brand” in the popular consciousness as a polemical artist at the vanguard of the ’90s Black New Wave that also featured filmmakers such as John Singleton, Mario Van Peebles, and the Hughes Brothers.
Crooklyn, while fitting within Spike’s collected body of work about the Black experience in America, took a detour in tone from his earlier, more overtly political films such as “Do the Right Thing” and “Jungle Fever.” Contemporary reactions to the film were mixed, and “Crooklyn,” like all of Spike’s post-”Malcolm X” films up to “Inside Man,...

The Herb Alpert Foundation has announced the winners of its 30th annual Herb Alpert Award in the Arts, which recognizes mid-career artists in the fields of dance, music, film/video, theater and visual arts.
In all, there are 10 winners for 2024, each of whom will receive a $75,000 unrestricted prize as well as a residency at CalArts (which administers the prize on behalf of the Herb Alpert Foundation). The winners are chosen by a group of 15 distinguished panelists and are nominated by another group of respected names in the arts.
According to Irene Borger, the director of the Herb Alpert Awards in the Arts, what stands out among 2024’s cohort is how many winners work across genres and mediums.
“Over the years things have gotten more and more hybrid, so that even though there are these five categories, these five genres, one of the choreographers is coming out with a book, one of the filmmakers makes sculpture,...

From Garrett Bradley: Devotion, published by MIT Press. In this interview from 2019, the art historian Huey Copeland speaks with the artist and filmmaker Garrett Bradley on the occasion of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston exhibition Garrett Bradley: American Rhapsody. This text first appeared in the exhibition catalogue.America.Huey Copeland: I’d like to begin by talking about the ways you’re engaging the archive in your work, recruiting a range of different materials, even outtakes from your own films. Your process—mixing and working on different projects simultaneously—seems to resonate with but also exceed what scholar Saidiya Hartman calls “critical fabulation” in terms of posing the question, “How do we return to and engage the archive in order to reframe it with all of its liabilities and possibilities”?1 In this sense, your work also resonates with what I’ve recently called “black auto-citational practice,” a modality that...

When Philadelphia’s BlackStar Film Festival opens its doors — both in-person and for virtual events — later this week, the venerable annual event will be celebrating a major milestone: its tenth anniversary. It’s a major turning point for a festival that has come to be recognized as a significant celebration of the visual and storytelling traditions of the African diaspora, as well as of global communities of color.
Over the past decade, the festival has enjoyed continued growth, both in the scope and reach of the festival itself and with new and ongoing year-round initiatives. As it passes into its next decade, there’s only more to come. Initially dubbed by members of its community as “the Black Sundance,” the nickname spoke to its ambitions.

Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician, was fatally shot by police at her home during the middle of the night on March 13.

As we close the decade, there is still one near-universal truth that connects those directors who defy the cineplex odds by making great cinema: Their visions are realized by some of the finest below-the-line talent the industry has ever seen. Even as the familiar infrastructure seems to be evaporating, the role that top craftspeople play has become that much more vital as the breadth and depth of their talent pool expands.

Arthur Jafa’s work as a cinematographer, visual artist, and cultural theorist, has captured and interrogated the history and experiences of black Americans, in groundbreaking film and visual media, for 30 years. Jafa’s work has exemplified the black aesthetic in stories of a Gullah family’s migration (the touchstone “Daughters of the Dust”); a young girl’s coming of age (“Crooklyn”); a meditation on blackness and culture (“Dreams are Colder than Death”); and the tracing of African American identity through a wide range of contrasting imagery. Through his work, Jafa aims to centralize the varied experiences of “Black being,” as an aesthetic that is entirely independent of Eurocentrism.
Oscar and Emmy nominee Bradford Young refers to Jafa (along with Malik Sayeed) as both a torchbearer and teacher of a tradition.
“They mean so much to me on multiple levels, and most of it isn’t even about the cinematography,” Young told IndieWire.

All below-the-line artists are tasked with interpreting a director’s vision through their craft, but the editor’s contribution is often the hardest to separate. As Stanley Kubrick said, “Editing is the only unique aspect of filmmaking which does not resemble any other art form.” That ability to jump through time and space, to show the viewer an image, cut, and connect it to something entirely different to create new meaning, rhythm, and emotion is at the core of how a director guides the audience.
Further complicating the ability to measure their contribution is how our favorite auteurs often rely on the same editors, forming professional marriages that span decades. Where does Steven Spielberg’s visual efficiency end, and Michael Kahn’s precision start? Could Spike Lee boldly shift tonal gears, if Barry Alexander Brown wasn’t there to preserve internal consistency? How much of Sofia Coppola’s distinct pace...

Despite the story his IMDb page tells, production designer Mark Friedberg still thinks of himself as a New York indie filmmaker. It just happens that the friends he collaborated with have become some of the defining auteurs of their generation — Jim Jarmusch, Ang Lee, Todd Haynes, Wes Anderson — while meeting some new ones along way, like Ava DuVernay (“Selma”) and Barry Jenkins. There’s a reason such distinctive cinematic voices gravitate toward Friedberg.
“What I love about Mark is there are so many little details in the script [he brings to life],” Jenkins told IndieWire. “Mark is so great about allowing for creativity, but working within the plausibility of the characterization.”
Story and character comes to life in those details: How the “Beale Street” family’s one good bottle of booze is only accessible with a step ladder, or the lived-in feeling that their brownstone radiates with their familial bond, or the crack in...

From documentarians reaffirming their commitment to exposing hidden truths to narrative filmmakers pledging to combat racism with their work, many are planning a strong response to the 2016 presidential election.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center assembled some of those voices Wednesday by convening an “urgent conversation” with Film Quarterly entitled “Film & Media in a Time of Repression.” Moderated by Film Quarterly editor and Uc Santa Cruz professor Ruby Rich, the event featured speakers including “House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon, blacklisted screenwriter Walter Bernstein and Portugese documentary filmmaker Susana de Sousa Dias.

Chicago – Iconic and historical are the two apt terms for a film directed by an African American woman, the first to be distributed theatrically, Was it the 1920s? 1940s? It had to be the 1970s. No, it was 1992 when that barrier was broken, with the film “Daughters in the Dust,” directed by Julie Dash.
“Daughters of the Dust” is a lyrical cinematic poem about transition and pride. In the early 20th Century, the children of slaves were making their first movements from the South during “The Great Migration” – when African Americans sought more independence in the industrial North. “Daughters” highlights the residents of St. Simons Island in Georgia, a settlement for a freed family named Peazant – who practiced Creole “Gullah” ancestry, which observed African tribal traditions during their time in America. The older and more established residents are wary of the traveling ways of the new generation, and the presence...

For a 25-year-old period drama about a multigenerational African-American family concerned with preserving its past while heading into an unknown future, Daughters of the Dust couldn’t be timelier — and the 1991 movie may finally be having its moment. Chronicling the Peazants, who in 1902 are departing their beloved Dawtuh Island off the East Coast to venture to the U.S. mainland, this poetic, poignant indie has long been overlooked — a movie more rhapsodized about than actually seen. That changes when Daughters returns to theaters on Novemember 18th in a gorgeous restoration,...

That there’s a fair chance you’ve never seen Daughters of the Dust — full disclosure: I am among these people — should be taken as a failure of distribution and exposure, not the film’s quality and impact. There’s also a fair chance that the closest you’ve really come to Julie Dash‘s 1991 film is Beyoncé’s Lemonade, which paid a direct visual tribute that, according to the helmer herself, sped along Cohen Media Group’s ongoing restoration — and, today, we have the trailer for said restoration in advance of its unveiling this fall.
Speaking to the New York Times, Cohen’s Tim Lanza explained a bit why this effort means a great deal. More than the somewhat-standard order of business that is working from an original print to improve A/V qualities, it provides a long-missing color-grading and, per Dash and cinematographer Arthur Jafa‘s wishes, is...

If you were one of the many who were critical of director Roland Emmerich for his "Stonewall" white-washing, here's an opportunity to go even further, and help finance the completion of a film that fills in some of what's missing in Emmerich's revisionist piece. Details from the project's Indiegogo campaign page, where the filmmakers hope to raise $30,000 in the next month. The film stars Mya Taylor of "Tangerine" fame, and was shot by Arthur Jafa, who you're all very familiar with I'm sure. *** Happy Birthday, Marsha!

One of the many highlights of the 2015 BlackStar Film Festival was Tneg: An Exploration, in which Director/cinematographer/producer Arthur Jafa ("Daughters of the Dust," "Dreams Are Colder Than Death") and producer/curator Elissa Blount-Moorhead shared work from Tneg, the studio they head in partnership with Director/cinematographer Malik Sayeed. Afterward, they were joined onstage for an provacative discussion moderated by Shatrelle P. Lewis in which Jafa shared insights gained from four decades of creating images. Blount-Moorhead spoke of the vision for the company whose principal aim is the creation of a black cinema “capable of matching the power, beauty and...

The latest film from acclaimed cinematographer Arthur Jafa ("Daughters of the Dust," "Crooklyn") is a profound rumination on a single question: “What does it mean to be black in America today?” Jafa interweaves the abstract and the concrete, layering his haunting visuals with spoken responses by artist Kara Walker, filmmaker Charles Burnett, musician Flying Lotus, and more. It screens this afternoon at 4:30pm, March 27, 2015, at the New Voices in Black Cinema Festival, at BAMCinematek in Brooklyn, NY.

"In the city, black people are producing modern forms of life," says influential scholar and historian Saidiya Hartman in Arthur Jafa's brilliant docu-poem Dreams Are Colder Than Death. "These emergent formations are only recognizable on their initial appearance as monstrous....There's a history of black anarchism, an everyday practice of revolution against certain forms of property arrangement."
Though it appeared on no major best-of lists last year and only played the festival circuit, Dreams was one of 2014's best and most important films, the only one to unambiguously capture the transitional American and global moment in which we live.

Bradford Young’s work on Ava DuVernay’s civil rights biopic Selma and Jc Chandor’s A Most Violent Year landed him on Hollywood’s radar this Oscar season, but it also illuminates the diversity lacking year after year within the film industry and the Academy that represents it. Critics and DuVernay have praised Young’s aptitude for lensing African-American faces onscreen as beautifully as he does in Selma, a film about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s private and public struggles to turn the tide of the voting rights movement. “I’m never satisfied with the way I see my people photographed in movies,” Young confessed to me over the phone before the holidays. “I think it comes from a lack of consciousness – if you grew up in a community where you don’t know black people, I wouldn’t suspect you would photograph them in a concerned way.”

Bradford Young is easily one of the most exciting cinematographers working today. Since igniting on the indie scene with films like "Pariah," "Middle of Nowhere," "Mother of George" and "Ain't Them Bodies Saints," his stock has continued to rise. This holiday season he'll have two very distinct, rich and exquisite films on display in theaters nationwide: Ava DuVernay's Martin Luther King biopic "Selma" and J.C. Chandor's NYC crime drama "A Most Violent Year." So it was with great pleasure that I finally wrangled a chat with the low-key 37-year-old, who makes his home outside of the industry fray in Washington, D.C. Each of these films represents such striking confidence, yet they feel wholly different from one another. They examine darker reaches of the frame with their own curiosity, each of them very specifically influenced by photographers who captured the human face in specific and, in their separate eras,...

Cinematographers Arthur Jafa ("Daughters of the Dust," "Crooklyn," "Dreams Are Colder Than Death," "Florida Water") and Malik Sayeed ("He Got Game," "Belly") have partnered with Baltimore based curator, lecturer and exhibition designer Elissa Blount-Moorhead, to create a new independent film studio and production company, Tneg. The goal, according, to Ms. Blount-Moorhead, is to develop and produce new black independent films, but films that will also “push what we understand to be new black cinema and to create not just new narratives and but also new aesthetics and technical parameters within black cinema."

Opening Night – World Premiere
Gone Girl
David Fincher, USA, 2014, Dcp, 150m
David Fincher’s film version of Gillian Flynn’s phenomenally successful best seller (adapted by the author) is one wild cinematic ride, a perfectly cast and intensely compressed portrait of a recession-era marriage contained within a devastating depiction of celebrity/media culture, shifting gears as smoothly as a Maserati 250F. Ben Affleck is Nick Dunne, whose wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) goes missing on the day of their fifth anniversary. Neil Patrick Harris is Amy’s old boyfriend Desi, Carrie Coon (who played Honey in Tracy Letts’s acclaimed production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) is Nick’s sister Margo, Kim Dickens (Treme, Friday Night Lights) is Detective Rhonda Boney, and Tyler Perry is Nick’s superstar lawyer Tanner Bolt. At once a grand panoramic vision of middle America, a uniquely disturbing exploration of the fault lines in a marriage,...

The fall festival lineup keeps growing and growing. This morning Tiff beefed up their slate, and now the New York Film Festival is highlighting the titles in their documentary section. And they've got a lot of familiar faces. So, who's unspooling new films? How about Martin Scorsese ("The 50-Year Argument"), Joshua Oppenheimer ("The Look Of Silence"), Albert Maysles ("Iris"), Frederick Wiseman ("National Gallery") and more. It doesn't get much better than that these days in the doc world, and it's hard to argue with a slate heavy on veterans of the genre. The New York Film Festival runs September 26th to October 12th. Dreams Are Colder Than Death (NY Premiere) Arthur Jafa, USA, 2013, Dcp, 52m In this new essay film, filmmaker and cinematographer Arthur Jafa (Daughters of the Dust, Crooklyn) begins with a question: what does it mean to be black in America in the 21st century?

There’s a great deal of mystery in old photographs. Beyond the visual moment conveyed, there’s a story that accompanies it. That story is not always clear, but is often reimagined. In "Florida Water," fine artist/filmmaker Numa Perrier reimagines the story and moments in a distinct photograph of her mother. What results is a complex merging of memory, absence, and imagery set against the backdrop of Port Au Prince, Haiti. Shot by acclaimed cinematographer Arthur Jafa, Perrier’s film pieces together a Haitian ritual performed by her mother and other women adorned in red dresses. Perrier, who didn’t meet her mother until she was 17 years old, writes that their reunion...

"Dreams Are Colder Than Death" screens tonight at the Blackstar Film Festival in Philadelphia (July 31 - August 3), starting at 6:30pm. Here's our review of the film. “Black people 200 years ago didn’t have a prayer. Beat our skin off our bodies, kill and rape our mommas in front of us. We didn’t have a prayer.” -Hortense Spillers There’s a very telling scene in Arthur Jafa’s documentary "Dreams Are Colder Than Death," where a young black woman walks down a residential street in a work uniform and pin curls, listening to earphones when two young black men begin to approach her.

Nothing like a little lovely soulful jazz on a warm, but not too hot, summer day (in NYC anyway), in lush black and white cinematography, compliments of songstress/diva, Cassandra Wilson on vocals, Isaach de Bankole as subject, and Arthur Jafa behind the camera. The track is called "Until," and it's from Wilson's 1995 album, "New Moon Daughter" - easily my favorite of all her albums, and I highly recommend it, if you aren't already familiar. I'm sure actor Isaach de Bankole needs no intro around here, given how often his name comes up. And of course, Arthur Jafa - the proverbial renaissance man - artist, critique, intellectual, and more, whose intro to most was...

Men Are From Mars: DuVernay’s Fascinating Sports Doc Focuses on Elusive Williams Sister
Director Ava DuVernay further displays the fascinating reaches of her talents with her latest project, Venus Vs. a sports documentary for Espn centered exclusively on the inspirational Venus Williams. DuVernay, who began her directorial career in documentary, but is now perhaps more widely recognized for her expertly hewn pair of dramas, I Will Follow in 2011 and Middle of Nowhere in 2012 (for which you can add the parenthetical moniker “trailblazer,” as she’s the first black woman to take home the Best Director prize at Sundance), astoundingly revealed that she’s not well versed in the sports or tennis realm. Perhaps this is why the film, which follows on the heels of another doc focusing on the Williams sisters that opened earlier this year, feels so readily accessible to all.
