Writer and Curator Karen Alexander in conversation with Mark Cosgrove (Watershed/Cinema Rediscovered Curator) to explore the appeal of Paris to Black Americans and the range and legacy of their creative presence in the city of love.

The backstory of how Melvin van Peebles came to make his debut feature film The Story of a Three-Day Pass is a reminder of how Paris was the centre of not just artistic expression, cultural renaissance, and radical politics but also a city where Black Americans writers, musicians and performers opposed American racism.

Cinema Rediscovered is Watershed’s annual festival which brings back classic films to the big screen. The festival features rediscoveries and restorations in a weekend of films and events.
