Conversations with Baldwin: James Baldwin on Film, GFT
Thursday 26 – Saturday 28 September, 2024
Conversations with Baldwin: James Baldwin on Film celebrates the centenary of the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin (1924 – 1987) with a season of films that present an intimate portrait of this 20th century icon in Europe and an award-winning adaptation of his exquisite prose. Walk with James Baldwin through the streets of Istanbul as he expounds on his privacy, sexuality, and desire to be a witness, bristle at the tension in Paris as he resists a presumptuous interrogation, keep up with Baldwin at his sharp-witted best in a meeting of radical West Indian students in London, then sink into the sensuousness of Barry Jenkins’ award-winning adaptation of the novel, If Beale Street Could Talk.
Conversations with Baldwin: James Baldwin on Film is a collaboration between Words of Colour and Glasgow Film Theatre, and is part of the Conversations with Baldwin festival celebrating 100 years of James Baldwin.
