Made in Harlem: I Remember Harlem
February 20, 2020 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Co-presented by Maysles Documentary Center, The Documentary Forum at CCNY, City College Center For The Arts, and Third World Newsreel
Part 1, The Early Years 1600-1930 (William Miles, 1980, 60 min.)
Part 2: The The Depression Years 1930-1940 (William Miles, 1980, 60 min.)
Though arguably no other New York City neighborhood has generated as many conflicting representations as Harlem, one singular documentary stands out: I Remember Harlem, directed and produced by legendary filmmaker William Miles. Miles’ epic lovingly renders the diverse, 350-year history of Harlem as both a living, breathing neighborhood and as the cultural hub of African-American life.
