Date: Tuesday 9 April

Time: 5:30-8:30pm

Venue: Wolfson Theatre, Lower Ground, New Academic Building, LSE


LSE EmbRace and LSE Spectrum are pleased to present a special screening of the Barry Jenkins 2016 film Moonlight, followed by a Q&A session with Dr Clive James Nwonka, Dr Sam Mejias, LGBT activist Dennis Carney and film critic Kelli Weston. Moonlight permits an analysis of the film's fusion of blackness and masculinity and its interactions with questions of sexual identity, race and representation. We are excited to bring these themes to the forefront of an open discussion. 


Chair:

Dr Clive James Nwonka: LSE Fellow in Film Studies, Department of Sociology


Panelists:

Dennis Carney: Chair of the Black Gay Men’s Advisory Group (BGMAG), Co-founder of Loving Men and recipient of the Black LGBT Community Awards

Kelli Weston: Film Critic, Sight and Sound/Film Comment  

Sam Meijas, LSE Research Fellow, Department Media and Communications


Refreshments will be available after the film and Q&A. This is a free event.
