USA/2022-directed by Elvis Mitchell
From celebrated writer, film historian and Highland Park native Elvis Mitchell, Is That Black Enough For You?!? is both a documentary and deeply personal essay. The film examines the craft and power of cinema from a perspective often overlooked: the African American contribution to films released from the landmark era of the 1970s.
Mitchell will be joined onstage for a conversation by American actor Laurence Fishburne and DIA film curator Elliot Wilhelm.
Freep Film Festival celebrates its milestone 10th year bringing the best in documentaries to Detroit. The 2023 festival, which will be held April 26-30, will feature five days of programming at the Detroit Film Theatre including its opening night film. Screenings will include conversations with filmmakers and people featured in the films.
