    Project Row Houses presents an Outdoor Film Screening: Melvin Van Peebles' Classified X presented by PRH Studio Artist Dawolu Jabari Anderson, Friday, June 26, 2009,  in the courtyard behind 2521 Holman.

    Film Synopsis:
    Actor and filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles explores the depiction of African-Americans in film in this incisive documentary. Starting with some of the first silent films, Van Peebles uses clips and stills from more than 70 movies to explore racism and stereotyping in Hollywood and independent cinema. cinephiles as well as anyone interested in social history will find much to think about here. Peebles explains with wit and anger why popular culture is still a matter of black and white.

    About the Artist/Presenter:
    Dawolu Jabari Anderson is a Houston-based artist who creates large-scale paintings on paper that combine stinging word play with the style and format of vintage movie posters and advertisements in a critique of how African-American history has been oversimplified and commodified throughout modern and contemporary culture.
