Since Dallas is hosting the Creating Change event at the downtown Sheraton hotel, a lot of my energy has been focused on that here at the blog. However, John Meyer and the gang at Pegasus News grabbed some great trailers for this year’s Texas Black Film Festival screenings happening February 4 – 6 at the Studio Movie Grill. This year’s theme is “Peace through Independent Film” and unlike my concern with last year’s film festival, this year’s late night shorts at least holds some same-gender loving intrigue with the film, Nobody Has to Know, screening as a part of the Late Night Short Film Series at 10pm on Friday, February 5th. The film features music by American classical musician, Paul Sayed. From the way the trailer is set up though, it looks as if it’s back to the “down low” from mainstream Black film audiences. Or is it?
Another film that is catching my eye is, “Herskovits: at the Heart of Blackness”. The film is about Jewish anthopologist, Melville Herskovits, and his founding research into the field of African-American studies. The trailer is below the flyer.
More information on this year’s screenings, times, and cost at the Texas Black Film Festival website.
