Post-screening Q&A with writer Nina Lorez Collins (daughter of Kathleen Collins)

 
Losing Ground

Dir. Kathleen Collins
With Seret Scott, Bill Gunn, Duane Jones
1982, 86min, DCP

 

Kathleen Collins’ wonderfully smart, complex exploration of relationships and sexuality—one of the first from the perspective of a black female director—centers on a cerebral philosophy professor (Scott) and her free-spirited artist husband (Gunn) as they get in touch with their inner desires on a summer idyll in upstate New York. The effortlessly breezy style belies a nuanced understanding of the ways in which gender, race, and class shape our relationships.

 
Four Women

Dir. Julie Dash
1975, 7min

 

A dance film set to the music of Nina Simone; her breakthrough work.

16mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
