Eight years ago, most had never heard of Black filmmakers like Kathleen Collins who directed a film titled "Losing Ground," and Horace Jenkins who directed "Cane River," both in the early 80s; both groundbreaking. When it comes to Black cinema globally, much we may not yet know.
Highly recommend the frisky, narratively bold, classically queer DRUNKEN NOODLES from Lucio Castro (whose END OF THE CENTURY is one of the great films of the past 10 years), and delighted to have filmmaker Ricky D'Ambrose talk to him for this new interview
