Hey people - many of you know I've been out of NYC almost all year. To catch up with my New York friends, I decided to throw a Holiday Party!

A friend of mine, renowned developer Lela Goren, has a collective called Girls That Build and she has begun a project of taking a decommissioned prison on 20th Street and the West Side Highway and turning it into a start up incubator. She asked me to host the closing of the inaugural exhibition by Annie Liebovitz, the world famous photographer, who has an amazing exhibition installed in the prison.

I want to invite the list to the closing event!

I hope you're in town! The event is free and open! There'll be lots of friends attending!
So here's the info:

PIONEERS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA.

The project was curated by Charles Musser from Yale University and Jacqueline Stewart.

The New Yorker
"The new five-disk set 'Pioneers of African-American Cinema' (Kino Classics) is a landmark in the history of the art form..."

LA Times:
"One of the year’s most exciting and historically significant archival projects"

Boston Herald:
"Fascinating cinematic history"

Flavorwire:
"The new box set is both a necessary contextualization of a cinematic movement and a counter-narrative to American film history."

RogerEbert.com (Blu-ray review):
"Pioneers of African-American Cinema" is an essential and groundbreaking Blu-ray set. It's more than worthy to be considered one of the most important and valuable releases of the year"

RogerEbert.com (interview):
"Kino Lorber's Pioneers of African-American Cinema set is ready to dazzle film buffs with its extraordinary archive of rarely seen cinematic treasures."

Huffington Post:
"This is an historic release. ...for all its landmark status it’s a pleasure to report that your first real response will simply be pleasure."

CriterionCast:
"It’s hard to consider the release of a piece of entertainment, specifically a DVD and Blu-ray box set, as a culturally significant moment, but then again there are few items quite like the newest release from the team at Kino Lorber. ...This collection of films is a must own for cinephiles, and a worthwhile purchase for those with other sociological interests."
