How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.
Atlanta and Marseille are both important southern capitals. Though environmentally and historically distinct–Marseille as a port city on the Mediterranean with origins dating back to ancient Greece circa 600 BCE, and Atlanta a landlocked city founded as a railroad terminus…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Crooklyn
The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Crooklyn
October 7 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1994 | 115 min. | DCP
Introduced by Dr. Nsenga Burton (Virginia State University) and Professor Dehanza Rogers (Emory University)
“Imagine sitting on the stoop of your Brooklyn brownstone, gossiping with the neighbors while kids play hop-scotch in the street and jump rope on the sidewalk. That's the urban community Spike Lee recreates in Crooklyn, a funny, high-energy movie about Carolyn and Woody Carmichael, and their five kids.” (Network Journal)
Crooklyn is a presumed semi-autobiographical tale of Shelton ‘Spike’ Lee’s family as told through a young girl, presumably his sister Joie Lee who co-wrote it with him along with their brother Cinque Lee. This is the second film in which Lee centers a female protagonist, the first being She’s Gotta Have It. Cinematographer Arthur Jaffa lenses this beautiful film that moves from the idyllic summer days of 1970s Brooklyn to the heat of the Black Virginia south.

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Clockers
The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Clockers
October 14 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1995 | Run Time: 128 min. | DCP
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Paula Massood (Brooklyn College CUNY)
Clockers opens as the first film Spike Lee directed that he did not actually write. Adapted from Richard Price’s book Clockers, Lee taps cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed to re-imagine Black urban life set in the cross hairs of nonsensical violence. Using grainy film stock and differentiating dolly shots, Lee focuses on a group beyond the Black middle class. The film feels reminiscent to his 1983 thesis film, Joe’s Bedstuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads but with a 1990s sensibility and ownership.
Clockers emerged at the beginning of what has been described as both a renaissance of Black filmmaking and a new Black exploitation period. This period was kicked off in 1991 with the releases of New Jack City and Boyz in the Hood. The success of these films encouraged Hollywood to produce several narratives of Black, urban, and…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Girl 6
The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Girl 6
October 21 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1996 | Run Time: 108 min | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Stephane Dunn (Morehouse College)
Print provided by Yale Film Archive. Girl 6 is Spike Lee’s eighth commercial film and the third where he centers a woman as the main protagonist. Made in 1996, it is based on a play by African-American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. It examines the phone sex business (as a parody of Hollywood) and one Black woman’s dreams against her negotiation of that industry. Essence gushes about Theresa Randle who stars as girl 6 saying, “Randle possesses the chameleonlike ability to be every woman you've ever known and one you've never met before.” Even cultural critic bell hooks, known for getting in Lee’s a** about his work, says: “I find Girl 6 to be a movie that not only challenges Hollywood but is a critical read on Hollywood.”
In a surrealist tone, the film attempts to deconstruct the lucrative but under-explored entertainment…

How can photography help us to see and understand a place that is unfamiliar?
This exhibition brings together new work by four artists who undertook residencies in cities far from home. Two artists from Marseille, France–Yohanne Lamoulère and Geoffroy Mathieu–traveled to Atlanta, while two Atlanta-based artists–Nydia Blas and Joshua Dudley Greer–spent time in Marseille. While abroad, each artist used photography as a tool for navigation, encounter, and reflection.
Atlanta and Marseille are both important southern capitals. Though environmentally and historically distinct–Marseille as a port city on the Mediterranean with origins dating back to ancient Greece circa 600 BCE, and Atlanta a landlocked city founded as a railroad terminus…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: 4 Little Girls
The Emory Cinematheque Presents: 4 Little Girls
October 28, 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1997 | Run Time: 102 min. | Digital
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Christine Acham (University of Hawai'i at Manoa)
4 Little Girls is Spike Lee’s first feature-length documentary. The film asks audiences to relive the horrific tragedy of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama on a Sunday morning in 1963. It poignantly examines not only what happened but more importantly, the lives of the girls killed and the lives of those left behind. “Only a filmmaker so resourceful, so entirely confident in his practiced craft, could have made such a quilt out of patches of nightmare and nostalgia – of gospels, ghosts, and grief. And only Lee, having earned the trust of these people, could have persuaded them to talk to him” (New York Magazine).
Film scholar Delphine Letort writes about Lee’s documentary practice and his turn to documentary making saying: “The documentary’s explanatory approach to…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: He Got Game
November 4 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1998 | Run Time: 136 min. | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Samantha Sheppard (Cornell University)
If you’ve ever watched New York professional basketball or witnessed the 2026 championship Knicks play, you’ve seen Spike Lee live and in color. Lee is an avid basketball fan and has floor seats for all Knicks home games. He is also the director of many commercials that illuminate the sport like Chic H.I.S. the Continental Basketball Association, and those that kicked off the relationship between Michael Jordan and Nike. Lee’s love and knowledge of basketball make his 1998 film He Got Game aesthetically beautiful and contemplative.
A fascinating look into one of America’s favorite past times, the story deals with big-time college recruiting processes, the money and politics involved in sports, and one outstanding Black young man basketball player. The film is lensed by Malik Hassan Sayeed, the same…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Summer of Sam
November 11 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
1999 | Run Time: 142 min. | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Racquel Gates (Columbia University)
Released in 1999, Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam is based on the 1977 killing spree of David Berkowitz, known as the Son of Sam. It fuses that year’s heatwave, Bronx, New York energy, sex, and disco with the fear of a serial killer. It’s Lee’s first film not about Black communities.
Mike Imperioli (of The Sopranos fame), Victor Colicchio, and Lee wrote Summer of Sam. Actor and star Roger Guenveur Smith talks about the making of the film. “’Summer of Sam’ was shot almost entirely in the Country Club section of the Bronx where the first of the murders took place. ‘You could feel it among the people on the street who had actually lived through this summer and lost people to that man. On one level it's a movie; it's make-believe. But for some of the people in that community, it was a very real experience. It's difficult…

November 18 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
2000 | Run Time: 135 min. | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Alessandra Raengo (Georgia State University)
On a budget of ten million dollars and shot primarily on Mini-DV, Spike Lee wrote and directed the script for this funny and parodic examination of television targeting Black audiences. Lee wanted to experiment with the new technology and tapped Ellen Kuras to serve as the film’s DP (Kuras also shot 4 Little Girls and Summer of Sam). He notes, “…digital video was a good aesthetic choice because it’s a film about a television show…using Mini-DV suited this film perfectly because we had a lot to do on this shoot and we needed to move” (The St. Louis American).
Released in 2000, Bamboozled garnered a split reception of its meaning, significance and impact on filmmaking and Black representation. In her book Critical Race Theory and Bamboozled, film scholar Alessandra Raengo suggests that the film may be the…

SHOT IN THE ARM SYNOPSIS
In the spring of 2019, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy began investigating a global measles epidemic. He filmed with both top public health officials working to halt the epidemic and ‘anti-vaxxers’ who were persuading millions of parents to refuse vaccines for their children. Then COVID-19 happened. Acting quickly, Kennedy shifted his focus to this once-in-a-century tragedy. Both skeptical and hopeful, Shot in the Arm, executive produced by Neil deGrasse Tyson, asks one of the most pressing questions of our time: can we…

December 2 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
2002 | 135 min. | 35mm
Directed by Spike Lee, Dr. Mark Cunningham (Austin Community College)
“Cornered by the DEA, convicted New York drug dealer Montgomery Brogan reevaluates his life in the 24 remaining hours before facing a seven-year jail term” (25th Hour logline). Based on David Benioff’s book of the same title, Spike Lee’s 25th Hour pays homage to the city of New York post 9/11. “Lee spans all of the five boroughs in this film. In his visits to Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan and the Bronx, his camera focuses on symbols that glorify the richest city in the nation. Lady Liberty gets a shot from a Staten Island spot. The Brooklyn Bridge connects with Manhattan in a passing glance. Queens has its moments, too” (New York Amsterdam News). Beams of light shine where the twin towers stood in Manhattan and seeming chants and sounds of the Middle East create the introductory sonic.
The Afro-American Red Star calls…

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: BlackKklansman
December 9, 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208
2018 | 135 min. | DCP
Directed by Spike Lee
Introduced by Dr. Ellen C. Scott (University of California, Los Angeles)
BlacKkKlansman is a Spike Lee joint loosely based on Ron Stallworth’s memoir, Black Klansman, published in 2014. The story details the work life of Stallworth within the Colorado Springs Police Department in the 1970s. While there, as the department’s first Black detective, Stallworth attempts to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan.
The debates around the film and Lee’s perceived return to an earlier verve make for a compelling viewing experience. Longtime Village Voice cultural critic and author Greg Tate believes that “On a meta-level, Spike and BlacKkKlansman’s real-life heroic subject share something in common, they’re both spooks who not only spat inside the door but blew off its hinges in the process.”
However, scholar and writer Joshua Sperling notes that another filmmaker, Boots Riley, felt some…
