The BDC provides people of African descent  working in
the documentary film 
and video field with the opportunity to  meet
socially; network 
professionally; promote each others’ work and
exchange ideas in order to 
generate productions. The BDC also advocates on issues
impacting Black 
documentarians. 



On Friday, February 9 at 6:00 pm, the meeting for
General BDC Members will 
take place at NYU School for the Arts (the Tisch
Building), 721 Broadway, Rm. 
006. 

We will screen Edward Pinder’s MASTER TEACHER, an
emotional documentary which 
followed a Harlem teacher over a school year. Although
it aired nationally 
over ABC NIGHTLINE, we’re screening it because this
documentary has an 
"independent" feel and in fact has an "independent"
origin. Pinder will be 
present for Q&A.

If you have been approached by people who want to join
the BDC, you may 
invite them to this meeting. Membership is open to
people of African descent 
members from the New York metropolitan area engaged in
the production and/or 
service of documentary film and video, including
students.

Please be prompt because we have much to discuss
before the screening: BDC 
committees, recent ITVS session and proposal clinic,
updates on projects by 
BDC members, discussion around the international film
festival project, and 
update on proposals regarding the Black August
Collective.
