Cine-Symposium: Euzhan Palcy, A Pioneer of Transnational Cinema (1983-2023)

Despite Euzhan Palcy’s impressive and influential career in cinema that the Academy of Motion Picture recognized in awarding her its exceptional Honorary Oscar in 2022, therefore making her join a restricted list of unique, world-class artists like Walt Disney, Agnès Varda, and Samuel L. Jackson, there has been no academic convention nor monograph devoted to her rich and complex artistic trajectory. During this first-ever, one-day Ciné-Symposium, a dozen specialists in cinema, the Caribbean, and Black cultures and history will convene to offer innovative approaches to Euzhan Palcy’s works. The symposium will also include a temporary photo exhibition of screenshots and exclusive behind-the-scenes visuals.

This symposium will take place on April 2, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM and is open to everyone. More information about the schedule of presentations will be released soon.
