Inventing Beauty: The 18th African American Film Festival – Panel Discussion

It’s often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that beauty is only skin-deep. Yet, beauty is power. So, what is beauty? Where does it come from and what does it mean to us today? Join author, curator and film scholar Terri Francis in discussion with Vanessa Young, Director of Community Outreach at the Kravis Center, as they explore Francis’ cinematic journey through the social, historical and personal dynamics of how we learn and question what and who we (should) find beautiful in the context of ground-breaking and gorgeous African American films.
