Description
A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves delivers a final surprise with ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM. Drawn from a 1972 gathering, the film unites surviving luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance (Arna Bontemps, Noble Sissle, James Ven Der Zee—to name a few) in electric conversations about art and legacy. Hailed as a "triumph" by The Hollywood Reporter and poised for awards season, this treasure offers a vivid, firsthand encounter with a movement that reshaped American history.
