Treasures from the Yale Film Archive: Preserving the Revolution: James Baldwin and the Black Panthers

Kathy Pakay and Josh Morton in person! Three Yale-preserved films by Yale filmmakers have their campus premieres: MAYDAY (May First Media, 1970, 22 mins) and PUPPET SHOW (Josh Morton, 1970, 9 mins) examine events surrounding New Haven’s Black Panther trials, while JAMES BALDWIN: FROM ANOTHER PLACE (Sedat Pakay, 1973, 12 mins) lets us hear from Baldwin during his self-imposed exile in Istanbul.

Yale-preserved films presented in 35mm and 16mm by the Yale Film Archive with support from Paul L. Joskow ’70 M.Phil., ’72 Ph.D.
