Description
Join BLACK GOLD Sunday, January 26th for a special screening of Roberto Minervini's WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD'S ON FIRE, featuring a Skype Q&A with Judy Hill!
This will be the first theatrical screening of Minervini's film in Toronto and our intention with this screening is to centre black healing. We hope to foster a space where members of the black community can actively engage in a generative discussion and critique of the film, an irrevocably important element to sharing this film that was strikingly absent from much festival programming.
Please note, this event is free to attend for members of the black community - message Black Gold for details.

"Italian-born, American South–based filmmaker Roberto Minervini’s follow-up to his Texas Trilogy is a portrait of African-Americans in New Orleans struggling to maintain their unique cultural identity and to find social justice. Shot in very sharp black and white, the film is focused on Judy, trying to keep her family afloat and save her bar before it’s snapped up by speculators; Ronaldo and Titus, two brothers growing up surrounded by violence and with a father in jail; Kevin, trying to keep the glorious local traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians alive; and the local Black Panthers, trying to stand up against a new, deadly wave of racism. This is a passionately urgent and strangely lyrical film experience."
- Film at Lincoln Center
