Firelight Media's Beyond Resilience: After the Call Out
Join us for Firelight Media's next Beyond Resilience Series event - After the Call Out - Towards Equity, Equality, and Racial Justice
Join us for a conversation entitled After the Call Out - Towards Equity, Equality, and Racial Justice
The recent announcement that golfing icon Tiger Woods would be the subject of a two-part HBO documentary series set in motion a heated debate in the documentary industry about equity, power, and BIPOC's filmmakers' demands for structural change. Join us for a conversation with filmmakers Geeta Gandbhir, Grace Lee, Marjan Safinia and Iyabo Boyd as they reflect on the path towards equity, equality, and racial justice in the documentary field. Moderated by Marcia Smith, President of Firelight Media.
Register for this LIVE event, and we'll send a link to join about 30 minutes before the start.
About the Beyond Resilience Series
From the beginning of artistic practice, documentation and cinema have been used by filmmakers, in partnership with their communities, to weather periods of deep crisis. Through colonization, genocide, mass censorship, political upheaval, recession, warfare and disease, the work of documentaries has been to bear witness, seek justice, survive and ultimately find strength and expression through the collective.
Firelight presents the Beyond Resilience Series, which will include online screenings, essays, and curated conversations that explore the challenges, strategies, and experiences of creating and distributing work during a time of crisis. Our slate takes a global and historical view of films created by filmmakers of color during critical periods of disaster, seeking to learn from the filmmaker, their community, and the resilience born from collective experiences.
