Horror Noire (Film Screening and Talkback)

PHILLY: Friday, May 24 at 7PM, Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books x The Paul Robeson House present a screening of Horror Noire, a documentary about the history of Black Horror.

Film Description-

"Delving into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced them, Horror Noire traces the untold history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre. Adapting Robin Means Coleman’s seminal book, HORROR NOIRE will present the living and the dead, using new and archival interviews from scholars and creators; the voices who survived the genre’s past trends, to those shaping its future."

Immediately following the screening, there will be a talkback on Black Horror with co-producer of Horror Noire, Ashlee Blackwell, Hakim Pitts, Dr. Ebony E. Thomas, Shefon Nachelle, Gabrial Bryant and Zalika U. Ibaorimi. Doors open at 6:30PM.
