Chicago Premiere of ‘Still Black’
October 24, 2008The “Studies N Black” festival has been going on at Links Hall for most of October, if you are lucky, then you have already seen some of it. Curated by Baraka de Soleil, the fest showcases a mix of media and art about how “people perceive blackness.” On Saturday, Chicago film-maker Kortney Ryan Zeigler’s Still Black, a documentary about six black trans-men, will screen. In an interesting interview (for next week’s podcast) Zeigler and (partner/producer) Awilda Rodriguez talked about how it is a misconception that black people are less accepting of LGBTQ lifestyles. This film underscores that idea with an exciting take on documentary film-making. Check out their website blackstarmedia.org for more information about the movie and go to Links Hall this weekend to see the movie.
