Race Films/Race Matters

FLX Cinemas co-host Race Films/Race Matters: Starting Conversations About Race in America

The Smith is teaming up with Finger Lakes Film Trail, Cinemapolis, Cornell Cinema, to host this series exploring historical race films and how they’re relevant to today. Each participating organization will host a discussion about a selected film; patrons can watch the film and a pre-recorded introduction ahead of time.

Featured films include Within Our Gates (1920), The Scar of Shame (1929), and The Emperor Jones (1933). All events are virtual, open to the public, and free.
