Too Good To Be Forgotten: Black Cinema and Slavery is a season of films and talks focusing on how Black and radical filmmakers have reclaimed slavery as a topic for cinematic exploration. Black directors in the African diaspora have looked at slavery through two interdependent lenses – those of history and identity. These twin aspects have propelled directors such as Julie Dash (Daughters of the Dust, Illusions), Charles Burnett (Killer of Sheep, To Sleep With Anger), Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou, Talk To Me ) and Haile Gerima (Sankofa, Bush Mama) to produce work that helps expand and challenge ideas of 'the Black family' during and beyond slavery.
