Friday, October 21, 7-9 pm

California College of the Arts, SF - Timken Hall

1111 Eighth Street (16th Street at Wisconsin)

Free and open to the public

Queer Conversations on Culture and the Arts (QCCA) presents a screening of the late Marlon Riggs's final film, Black Is Black Ain't (1995), followed by a panel discussion with producers, editors, mentors, artists, and friends involved with Marlon Riggs, including Jeanne Finley, Pat Turner, Nicole Atkinson Roach, and Blackberri.

The panel, moderated by filmmaker and CCA faculty member Cheryl Dunye, will discuss the importance of Riggs's work and its relevance today for artists and activists who continue to struggle with issues of race and homophobia.

"As long as I have work then I'm not going to die, cause work is a living spirit in me -- that which wants to connect with other people and pass on something to them which they can use in their own lives and grow from." - Marlon Riggs, Black Is Black Ain't

QCCA is co-sponsored by Film Studies and Visual & Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts, Queer Conversations on Culture and the Arts and The Queer Cultural Center. This program is also supported in part by the Community Arts & Education Program of the San Francisco Arts Commission.

Special thanks to the Office of the Provost (CCA) and Dr. Marcy Adelman for their contributions to this program.
