Made in Harlem: Remembering the Renaissance
Remembering the Renaissance uses the wide-ranging lens of documentary film to capture and commemorate, explore and expand the many layers of experience that made up--and continue to make up--the Harlem Renaissance. The series brings together a variety of film sources to examine visual representations of the Renaissance (mostly nonfictional) and the lasting influence of these representations on political and artistic output, collective memory, present-day black experiences, and the Harlem of today.
