"A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde" Restoration Premiere and Celebration

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.
