On September 10th, the Ray Bradbury Center is partnering with Kan-Kan Cinema and the Center for Africana Studies and Culture as a part of Festival 451indy for a special showing of Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.
Summary:
Delving into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced them, this is the untold history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre.
After the film, join us for a special talk-back discussion with Tananarive Due, who is featured in the film.
Tananarive Priscilla Due is an American author and educator. Due won the American Book Award for her novel The Living Blood. She is also known as a film historian with expertise in Black horror.
