Join author, curator and film scholar Terri Francis for the 18th African American Film Festival.

Francis and her special guests take you on a 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. The films in INVENTING BEAUTY invite us to reflect on our personal and perhaps shifting notions of beauty—a concept that is as intimate as it is social, as timeless as it is always changing.
