Abstract
Highlighting past and present film curatorial and programming projects by Black women, the roundtable conversation printed here featured Ina Archer, Cheryl Chisholm, Monica Freeman, Jennifer Lawson, O.Funmilayo Makarah, and Yvonne Welbon. Moderated by Allyson Nadia Field and Hayley O’Malley, the conversation began at the 2023 Sojourner Truth Festival of the Arts in Chicago and offered an occasion for curators of Black feminist film and media work to reflect on their careers and the labor involved in connecting films with audiences. Even as Black feminist media has gained more critical and popular attention in recent years, the behind-the-scenes labor of film programming—especially in earlier periods—remains largely underappreciated and understudied. This roundtable is one attempt to center those curatorial histories as vital for the understanding of American film culture.
