Screening of Vintage: Families of Value at Berkley as part of No Regrets: A Celebration of Marlon Riggs

Marlon Riggs (1957–1994) was a graduate and professor at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism who employed the medium of video to engage critically with African American (and American) culture, representation, and identity. Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of his 1989 video essay, Tongues Untied and nearing twenty-five years since the release of Black Is . . . Black Ain’t, this retrospective includes all of Riggs’s films along with works by filmmakers addressing similar issues in a variety of innovative ways.
