Black is Not a Genre

Black Is Not A Genre is a film series hosted by Graham Cumberbatch highlighting the under-examined and under-appreciated contributions of black cinema to genre film. In collaboration with Hyperreal Film Club, with the goal of illuminating new perspectives on Black genre filmmaking, the first edition of BINAG will recommend four Black-directed films for viewers to screen at home over the course of four weeks in July 2020. The emphasis will be on under-exposed films, films that have been largely miscategorized, and films that have made major cinematic contributions to their genre.
