A landmark for Black – and Queer – British film, Isaac Julien’s iconic, beautifully crafted 1991 period piece has been newly remastered by the BFI.
GFT is marking Black History Month at GFT by screening a varied season of fantastic films and special events. The season kicks off on Monday 9 October with a special preview of Cassius X: Becoming Ali + a Q&A with author Stuart Cosgrove.
The film, which was a hit at Glasgow Film Festival earlier this year, follows the early years of Cassius Clay, from bright-eyed rookie to world heavyweight champion and from working class intellectual to one of America’s most influential civil rights campaigners.
Also featured in the season is The New Scots: 30 Years On — an archive screening of three episodes of early 90s STV docu-series which talks to families who immigrated to Scotland; a 4K restoration of Young Soul Rebels; and a Black Scottish History: Exploring Your Family Archive Workshop.
