A PROGRAM OF LOGAN CENTER’S DIGITAL STORYTELLING INITIATIVE

This film series happens on Sundays, Jul 9-Aug 27, 1-4pm / Screening Room
Seating is limited; please RSVP

Written, produced, and directed by the late, trailblazing director Horace B. Jenkins and crafted by an entirely Black cast and crew, this luminous, recently rediscovered landmark of American independent cinema is a charmingly laid-back, socially incisive love story set in the heart of Louisiana. It’s there that a forbidden romance between an aspiring writer (Richard Romain) and an ambitious, college-bound woman (Tommye Myrick) lays bare the tensions between two Black communities: the wealthy Creoles and the working-class descendants of enslaved people. Featuring lyrical cinematography and strikingly naturalistic performances from its captivating leads, the long-lost Cane River reemerges thanks to a brand new, state-of-the-art restoration by Indie Collect and Oscilloscope Laboratories.
