Join us for a 30th anniversary screening of the ground-breaking film Tongues Untied by late filmmaker Marlon Riggs. Cornelius Moore, California Newsreel co-director and colleague of Riggs’ who was involved in the film’s production and appeared in the cast will lead the discussion after the film.

Made to “shatter this nation’s brutalizing silence on matters of sexual and racial difference”, this bold and beautiful film combines poetry, performance, and music into a personal and universal statement on the experiences and resulting persecution of Black gay men. Met with a storm of controversy that reached all the way to Congress, Tongues Untied remains a radical act of representation.

Registration encouraged for this program. Please scroll down.

An artist of extraordinary courage and vision, Marlon Riggs gave cinematic voice to gay Black men at a time in America when to be either was to be denied one’s full humanity. Defying the culture of silence and shame that pervaded the era of the AIDS crisis, Riggs created a vibrantly expressive and innovative film that brought the richness of the queer Black experience to the screen. His Emmy winning 1987 classic documentary film Ethnic Notions remains the definitive work examining anti-Black stereotypes permeating popular culture and is a mainstay in college and high school screenings and discussions on race.

Film curator and programmer Cornelius Moore co-directs California Newsreel, a non-profit, social issue film distribution and production company. California Newsreel distributes films on Black life and history, race, Africa, health, and the complete works of Marlon Riggs. Moore was the executor of Riggs’ estate.

Presented in conjunction with the 2019 One Book One San Diego selection The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai.
