This week on “From the Booth” IC co-directors Marc Yamada and Chip Oscarson discuss the challenge of representing race and the experience of being black, in contemporary film. The discussion takes its lead from Prof. Kristin Matthew’s provocative lecture this last week at IC that challenged viewers to think more deeply about the way blackness and whiteness is portrayed in film.
