MassArt Ciné Culture Screening Series, in partnership with the Roxbury Film Festival, will present a weekend film screening series of work by two acclaimed directors: Charles Burnett and Zeinabu Davis. Both Burnett and Davis are integral figures from the first generation of the L.A. Rebellion film movement, a group of African-American filmmakers who studied at the UCLA film school in the 1960s-1980s. A panel discussion and Q&A sessions with the esteemed directors will follow each film screening.

The events are free and open to the public and the entire schedule is listed below.
