Director: Toby Perl Freilich The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Cooper Union Professor Diana Agrest, former New York City Cultural Affairs Commissioner, Tom Finkelpearl, and the filmmaker, Toby Perl Freilich.

Film | Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026): Culture Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)


A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group--many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years--reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves's son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves's intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work. but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive. Director: William Greaves, David Greaves Followed by a conversation between filmmakers David Greaves and Liani Greaves and Racquel Gates, Associate Professor, Film and Media Studies.

Inside a small judicial scrivener's office at the Seongnam Branch of Suwon District Court, people arrive daily carrying the weight of debt. The father helps them file for rehabilitation and bankruptcy, though he himself is drowning in what he owes.

As a clerk, he witnesses the endless circulation of suffering caused by money, obligation, and survival. Threaded through this struggle is the quiet presence of his mother, a Buddhist nun who returned to monastic life to repay the debts of her temple, and who eventually achieved financial peace. Between a father still struggling and a mother who endured, the film searches for a modest hope: not redemption, but the possibility of continuing to live.
