Join UCLA Film & Television Archive February 21 & 22, 2025 for a two-night retrospective showcasing the remarkable work of American filmmaker, writer, and performance artist Michelle Parkerson.
Championed in The Village Voice by esteemed critic Greg Tate, Parkerson was part of a wave of “New Black Cinema” in the early 1980s that bucked Hollywood stereotypes to create authentic, nuanced stories about Black life, including a focus on the stories of Black lesbians like her.
