Black Film Festival
Friday, August 21, 7 p.m.

The Parrish Art Museum and Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center conclude their two-week outdoor Black Film Festival with two more films inspired by the current global movement to elevate black lives and eliminate racism.

The August 21 event begins with other, Xavier Burgin’s 2018 short film about a black woman who struggles as she navigates white spaces following the white nationalist rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia. The short film is followed by a screening of The Hate U Give, an acclaimed 2018 film directed by George Tillman Jr. The story follows Starr Carter, who is constantly switching between two worlds—her poor, mostly black, neighborhood and her rich, mostly white, school. In the film, she witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil by a police officer and resolves to take a stand. Gates to the museum’s terrace and lawn open at 7:30 p.m., with the first screening beginning after dark, at approximately 8:30 pm. Guests should bring their own chairs and masks, which are mandatory.
