WNY Friday Film Series PresentsIsaac Julien's 1988 short film
LOOKING FOR LANGSTON.
The IMDB describes it this way:
Issac Julien's incredibly lush visual exploration of the idea of Langston
Hughes' sexuality. In this film Julien creates a space of queer liberation
around an African-American literary icon. Julien stated in an interview with the
great poet Essex Hemphill (whose writing is used as text in the film) that he
sought to "construct a narrative that would allow viewers to meditate and to
think, rather than be told." This is exactly what is accomplished in this
profoundly beautiful and intellectually thrilling short film.
The film runs 45 minutes and will begin at 3pm in Apartment 712.
