Film: A QUESTION OF COLOR

A Question of Color weaves together interviews with Black Americans of every complexion to explore colorism in the 1980s and early 1990s. Director Kathe Sandler also narrates the film, providing historical context, personal anecdotes, and sharing critical perspectives about colorism. The documentary originally premiered at the 1993 Berlin International Film Festival, and the new 4K restoration was created from the original negative, which Sandler donated to the Black Film Center & Archive (BFCA) in 2010 and 2018. IndieCollect completed the restoration with funding from the HFPA Trust and donations contributed to the Jane Fonda Fund for Women Directors. [58 min; documentary; English]

A Q&A with filmmaker Kathe Sandler and Black Film Center & Archive Director Dr. Novotny Lawrence will follow the screening.
