Of the eminent figures of 20th-century American letters, few had so intense an engagement with the movies as James Baldwin, as evidenced by his book-length essay on Hollywood cinema and racial politics, The Devil Finds Work. And filmmakers have been just as taken with Baldwin, as you can see in our program of movies about and featuring the author and his work, including Raoul Peck’s Oscar-nominated documentary I Am Not Your Negro; new restorations of Meeting the Man: James Baldwin in Paris, Baldwin’s N****r, and James Baldwin: From Another Place; and If Beale Street Could Talk, Barry Jenkins’s sublimely sensitive adaptation of Baldwin’s 1974 novel of the same name.
