BlackTalk Ep 1: Spike Lee's "School Daze"

An intervention toward and challenge of more traditional examples of criticism, BlackTalk is a salon series where Black movies matter. In the great tradition of the Harlem Renaissance, in this space, Black thinkers center Black filmmaking in a kitchen table-style debrief of cultural commentary and critique, ultimately interrogating the film canon.
Led by creator Tre'vell Anderson, critics, artists, and other cultural workers are invited to screen and discourse films made by and/or about Black people. BlackTalk puts the power and purpose of film criticism (back) where it belongs: in the hands of the beloved community.
The film being discussed is "School Daze" (1988), which was written and directed by Spike Lee. Salon participants include Ray Love Jr., Brooke Obie, Naomi Elias, Garry Harris, Ryan Mitchell, Shar Jossell, Mychael Chinn, Jerome Campbell, Lyric Cabral and Neverending Nina.
