Rebirth of a Nation screening and discussion

The public is invited to a free screening of DJ Spooky’s Rebirth of a Nation, followed by a question-and-answer session with the film’s director. Topics of discussion include racial imagery and cultural (mis)representation, the tools used to reimagine contemporary cinema, and the history of African-American remix culture. Michael Bérubé, director of the Institute for the Arts and Humanities at Penn State, moderates a post-screening question-and-answer session.
