Black Talkies On Parade returns during Black History Month 2020 through a collaboration between MCLM and West LA College. The program features the 1959 classic, Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro).Directed by Marcel Camus • 1959 • Brazil, France
Winner of both the Academy Award for best foreign-language film and the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or, Marcel Camus' Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro) brings the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice to the twentieth-century madness of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. With its eye-popping photography and ravishing, epochal soundtrack, Black Orpheus was an international cultural event, and it kicked off the bossa nova craze that set hi-fis across America spinning.
Your afternoon host will be Lloyd Clayton. Following the screening we will have a brief Q&A.
Screening is FREE!
