Classic Black Cinema Series: Princess TAM-TAM

Join us for a unique film experience at the Gantt as we are thrilled to present the August feature of the Classic Black Cinema Series, Princess TAM-TAM.

Princess TAM-TAM is a 1935 film starring the legendary Josephine Baker as a local Tunisian girl who is educated and introduced to Parisian high society. Connect with fellow movie lovers at the Gantt and celebrate the rich history of Black cinema.

This film series is specifically designed to expose the community to the vast artistic value black film has had throughout the years. Its goal is to appeal to as diverse a population as possible and further the appreciation of Black cinema.

Curator and host, Felix Curtis, came to Charlotte from the Oakland/San Francisco Bay area where he curated The San Francisco Black Film Festival and Black Filmworks, the annual film festival component of the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame, where he later served as Executive Director.
