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 "Girl 6" (1996), which was written by Suzan-Lori Parks and directed by Spike Lee. This salon was guest curated by writer and filmmaker Amber J. Phillips. Salon participants include Pierre Phipps, Tre'vell Anderson, Amber J. Phillips, Shar Jossell, Dom Scott, Ashley Younniä and AJ Girard.
