A screening and post-film discussion to mark the centenary of author and activist James Baldwin’s birth.
Award-winning filmmaker Raoul Peck (Murder in Pacot, Moloch Tropical, Sometimes in April, Lumumba), has completed the cinematic version of the book Baldwin never wrote - a radical narration about race in America that tracks the lives and assassinations of Baldwin’s friends, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Medgar Evers. Whilst it is partly anchored in the struggle for equality in the 50s and 60s, I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO is about what it means to be black in America today.
By confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassinations of these three men we uncover a larger narrative of America’s historical and current denial and irrational relationship with race. This ‘history of violence’ is also told through the long simplified narrative that Hollywood recounts as a story between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ or ‘right and wrong’, reflecting our current racial precariousness. I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO is also the autopsy of the American racial imagery and iconography.
Following the film there will be a discussion with Dr Kwasu Tembo and Professor Andrew Tate, both from Lancaster University’s English Literature and Creative Writing Department.
