ActNow: New Voices in Black Cinema
Thursday August 27
6 Things I Never Told You (2008) inaugurates a new biannual series presented in conjunction with the ActNow Foundation and New York City Council Member Letitia James
Thursday, August 27 at 6:50pm*, 9:30pm
6 Things I Never Told You (2008) 93min
Directed by 6 Leagues' Stacey L. Holman, Cinque Northern, Ed DuRante, Rod Gailes OBC,
Caran Hartsfield and James Richards
Breaking from standard relationship film fare, 6 Things … examines black sex and sexuality without showing the act of sex. “Showing sexuality without showing sex allowed us, and the filmgoers, to explore the relationships on a different level,” says Thing Two-The Cable Box director Cinque Northern. “Black love and sex on the silver screen tends to not be nuanced,” explains Northern, “with 6 Things…, we show this love in different forms.”
The film segments star Jamie Hector (HBO's The Wire), Novella Nelson (Antwone Fisher), Hassan Manning, Cherise Booth, Dominique Morriseau, Leopold Lowe, and Lela Aisha Jones.
The inaugural film 6 Things I Never Told You is a collaborative work, featuring six disparate films under one banner by award-winning NYU Graduate Film Program alumni. The film is best described by the directors as an “anthology of cinematic snapshots examining committed romantic relationships in flux.” Each film is about a significant landmark in relationships that are either being renewed, dominated or lost, but all the partners are longing for control.
*A Q&A with filmmakers and Actnow's Founder Aaron Ingram will follow the 7pm screening.
