Join the Maysles Documentary Center for a hands-on celebration of all-things Harlem Film in Marcus Garvey Park!

Begin the day with a pop-up archiving workshop, hosted by the XFR Collective. Learn about caring for home movies and other personal at-risk media with an on-site digitization tutorial. Bring VHS tapes if you have them! There will also be crafts, zines, and snacks.

In the afternoon, gather for a series of short talks on different aspects of Harlem film and on topics such as radical film history, Harlem in Hollywood, hip-hop archiving, and the influence of African-born migrants on Harlem film culture!
