  • Sept 30; Oct. 14; Oct 28: Friday afternoon screenings of films from the Archive.
  • Nov 4: Dedication of the Reading Room to Phyllis Klotman, the first director of the BFC/A.  Charles Burnett will be in attendance.

Published by Black Film Center and Archive

The Black Film Center/Archive at Indiana University was established in 1981 as the first archival repository dedicated to collecting, preserving, and making available historically and culturally significant films by and about black people. The BFC/A's primary objectives are to promote scholarship on black film and to serve as an open resource for scholars, researchers, students, and the general public; to encourage creative film activity by independent black filmmakers; and to undertake and support research on the history, impact, theory, and aesthetics of black film traditions.
