St. Claire Bourne 4th Tuesdays Community Screening Series,
our free documentary series!
Named in honor of our founder, the late, award-winning documentary filmmaker St. Clair Bourne. Free, as part of our commitment to the South Los Angeles community, we screen documentary films that highlight stories from the Diaspora. 4th Tuesday screenings are an eclectic, skillful array of short and feature documentaries that push the art form, address the social climate and awaken history.
Day of Black Docs
Approaching two decades, our signature event DOBD showcases premiere documentaries directed and/or produced by Black filmmakers. Held at the prestigious American Film Institute, the day brings together black filmmakers and enthusiasts with dynamic filmmaker panels and networking. It is a celebration of documentaries, which highlights the Black Experience and spotlights its filmmakers from around the world.
