I Am Not Your Negro
Directed by Raoul Peck
Distributed by Kino Lorber
Written by James Baldwin, featuring the voice of Samuel L. Jackson
2016, PG-13, 1h33, France-USA-Belgium-Switzerland
Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished, Remember This House. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and a wealth of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into Black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights Movement to the present #BlackLivesMatter movement. It is a film that questions Black representation in Hollywood and beyond. Ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassinations of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr., Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.
In partnership with
MAINTENANT
Founded in 2020, MAINTENANT is an art and fighting laboratory with two gallery spaces -one of which also serves as an active boxing gym – set on 25 acres in the High Chihuahuan Desert, two miles east of town, overlooking Marfa. We focus on work created in Marfa, or made specifically for MAINTENANT’s particular spaces and surrounding land or ethos, and work made across the Chihuahuan Desert – including Chihuahua City, El Paso, and Juarez – as well as in France and Chicago. We champion those who are punching up.
