TCM special Theme: black History Month
TCM, beginning at 7 p.m.
Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Saturday evening block celebrating Black History Month concludes with a double feature of movies written and directed by Black women and led by strong female characters. Both have been selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. First is Kathleen Collins’
semiautobiographical drama “Losing Ground” (1982), about the rocky relationship between a college professor (Seret Scott) and her husband (Bill Gunn), which becomes even more strained when they spend a summer away from the city. “Losing Ground” was the first feature-length drama directed by an African American woman since the 1920s, but it never had a theatrical release during Collins’ lifetime (she died in 1988 at age 46), playing only on the festival circuit. In 2015, her daughter,
Nina Collins, restored the film; it was reissued and hailed by critics. Tonight’s second feature is “The Watermelon Woman” (1996), a romantic comedy/drama from Cheryl Dunye, who also stars as a young Black lesbian filmmaker who looks into the life of a 1930s Black actress who played “mammy” stereotypes in movies of the time. “The Watermelon Woman” is the first feature film directed by a Black lesbian and is considered a landmark in queer cinema.
