DESCRIPTION:\n	Sponsored by Time Warner Inc.\n	\n	\n	Dir. Julie Dash. 1991\
 , 112 mins. 35mm. With Cora Lee Day\, Alva Rogers\, Barbara-O\, Cheryl Lyn
 n Bruce\, Tommy Hicks. Dash’s 1991 masterpiece was her first feature\, and
  the first feature directed by an African American woman to receive a gene
 ral theatrical release. The year is 1902\, in the home of several Gullah p
 eople\, descendants of African captives who escaped the slave trade to liv
 e on islands off the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia. Here\, members 
 of the Peazant family are on the verge of a planned migration to the U.S. 
 mainland\, where American modernity seems to offer a good life. Dash const
 ructs their home as a rarefied world\, possibly soon a “paradise lost\,” t
 hrough a masterful interplay of mise-en-scène\, symbolic markers\, and mag
 ical realist gestures. \n	\n	\n	Preceded by: \n	\n	The Diary of an African
  Nun \n	\n	Dir. Julie Dash. 1977\, 15 mins. Digtial projection. With Barba
 ra O. Jones\, Barbara Young\, Makimi Price\, Ron Flagge\, Renee Carraway. 
 A nun in Uganda weighs the emptiness she finds in her supposed union with 
 Christ. Adapted from an Alice Walker short story\, the film was a move by 
 its director toward narrative filmmaking\, though it has a stylistic inten
 sity that anticipates Daughters of the Dust. \n	\n	  Preservation funded i
 n part with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. \n	\n	
 \n	Free with Museum admission on a first-come\, first-served basis. Museum
  members may reserve tickets in advance by calling 718 777 6800. For more
