RENAISSANCE CLUB DOCUMENTARIES AT MAYSLES

Harlem Bespoke: Home to Harlem presents Harlem through an archival lens as both an actual home for Black citizens and families… and as a location in the popular imagination of African Americans, by exploring the various intersections of documentary, amateur films, home movies, musical shorts, nontheatrical materials, family archives and the preservation of cultural artifacts in Harlem.
