These three short films present an intimate portrait of James Baldwin in London, Paris, and Istanbul at the turn of the 1970s. Listen to Baldwin at his sharp-witted best in a meeting of radical West Indian Students in London in ‘Baldwin’s N*****’ (1969) by Horace Ove (who would go on to become the first Black director to make a feature film in the UK). Bristle at the tension between Baldwin and the filmmakers of ‘Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris’ (1973), then walk with James Baldwin through the streets of Istanbul in Sedat Pekay’s luminous short film ‘From Another Place’ (1970) featuring rarely seen outtakes from the Yale Archive. The screening will be followed by a short Q&A.
Two screenings as a collaboration between Words of Colour and Glasgow Film Theatre and part of the Conversations with Baldwin festival celebrating 100 years of James Baldwin.
Adult £11.50, discounted £8.50
