From November 27 to December 23, Eye Filmmuseum presents a program centered on the legendary American filmmaker Charles Burnett, a pioneer of Black independent cinema in the 70s and 80s and the LA Rebellion movement. Burnett is coming over from Los Angeles for the opening and an Artist Talk on November 29, moderated by Maya Cade (Milestone Films, Black Film Archive).
