Collective Memory(ies): Our Diaspora
The Diaspora Festival of Black and Independent Film is the Stone Center’s annual series spotlighting film from all corners of the African diaspora. Many screenings are North Carolina premieres and feature commentary and appearances by the directors and local scholars. This year’s edition will include community screenings at the Varsity Theater and in Durham at NC Central University. The 2019 festival, which opens on September 29, includes over 20 films from across the diaspora.
