Third World Newsreel announces the restoration of A LITANY FOR SURVIVAL: THE LIFE AND WORK OF AUDRE LORDE, the most comprehensive portrait of the legendary feminist and self-described "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" ever committed to film.
In partnership with Black women-led cultural institutions Black Public Media, BlackStar Projects, Black Women Radicals, Firelight Media, and Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project (QWOCMAP), a two-day premiere in January will bring together community and filmmakers Ada Gay Griffin and Michelle Parkerson. On January 28, Gladys Books & Wine, the Black lesbian bookstore and lounge in Bed-Stuy, will host a salon-style conversation on preservation as resistance. On January 29, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) will screen the restored film with a Q&A featuring both filmmakers.

When I first joined a twn workshop, I was an aspiring filmmaker with a vision but uncertain how to bring it to life. twn didn't just offer me tools and training; they provided a community that believed in my story.

The mentors and peers I met there have become lifelong collaborators and friends. Today, I'm proud to say my documentary, which highlights the struggles and triumphs of Indigenous communities, has not only been made but has received acclaim in film festivals. This journey of empowerment and creation began with twn, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

"Griffin and Parkerson's documentary “A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde” celebrates a visionary woman, who in her life and literary work embodied the intersection of three social protest movements: civil, women’s and gay-lesbian rights."
"Tenderly tracing the life of poet Audre Lorde, the film cracks open life’s poetry guided by Lorde’s sincere belief more and better is possible if we envision it enough to will it into existence."
