Two films by William Greaves to be showcased at The Afro-Punk Festival/BAMcinématek

Still a Brother:
 Inside the Negro Middle Class (1968)
Sunday, July 1 at 4:30pm (85min)

In this work, producers William Greaves and William Branch focus on emerging black professionals, contrasting white suburban values with issues of identity and what it means to be black and middle class. The film reveals the mental revolution that economically successful blacks underwent during the turbulent race-conscious sixties.

Directed by William Greaves
 Co–produced by William Branch
 Narrated by Ossie Davis

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (1968)
Monday, July 2 at 6:50pm (75min)
Q&A with William Greaves

In this one-of-a-kind fiction/documentary hybrid, filmmaker William Greaves presides over a beleaguered film crew in New York’s Central Park, leaving them to try to figure out what kind of movie he is making. This wildly innovative sixties counterculture landmark remains one of the most tightly focused and insightful movies ever made about making movies.

 Directed by William Greaves

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]
