It’s Nation Time: An Evening of Black Cinema August 7, 2026
Join Court Theatre for a powerful double feature that explores the depth, defiance, and diverse aesthetics of Black liberation cinema and captures the relentless pursuit of self-determination.
- Nationtime (1972, Director William Greaves) offers an essential, energized chronicle of the 1972 National Black Political Convention, capturing a monumental moment of collective political organizing.
- Cultural Nationalism (1968, Director Skip Norman) provides a sharp, observational lens on the ideologies, aesthetics, and community presence of the Black Panther Party in Oakland.
Together, these films form a profound dialogue between the past and the present, documenting not just the struggle for liberation, but the art born from it.
