What 'Sinners' Means For Black Cinema
Cultural scholar, professor and filmmaker Dr. Stephane Dunn talks about the new film "Sinners," including its on-screen themes about race in the American south, and the behind-the-scenes deal that some in Hollywood are calling 'unprecedented' that allows director and writer Ryan Coogler creative control and ownership over the film. Dunn discusses the film, how its production fits into the history of Black film, and what impact it might have on the industry going forward.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.
