In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

In this podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Simon Chambers, the Director of Screen Ireland supported documentary 'Much Ado About Dying. Filmmaker Simon finds his life drastically interrupted when he is called back to London from India to care for his retired bohemian gay actor Uncle David. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong. David's anarchic spirit is unbreakable. He fights with Simon, refusing to go into a care home, insisting on dying in the squalor of his unheated tumble-down house. He can't remember where he put his false teeth but he still knows nearly all the lines from his beloved Shakespeare plays. David's real life starts to echo "King Lear", the play about an old man going mad and giving his kingdom away, as David starts giving away thousands of pounds to a hot sexy "helper". How do we deal with and care for our relatives who are living longer than ever? How does Simon help David to have a good death? Much Ado About Dying is in cinemas from 10th May2024. The special event screenings taking place are the following Irish Film Institute, Dublin - Q&A 10th May Palás Cinema, Galway - Q&A 11th May Lighthouse Cinema, Dublin - Q&A 12th May Omniplex Limerick - Q&A 13th May Omniplex Cork - Q&A 14th May Omniplex Rathmines, Dublin - Q&A 17th May Omniplex Belfast - Q&A 18th May Queens Film Theatre, Belfast - Q&A 19th May Century Cinema, Letterkenny - Q&A 19th May Omniplex Derry - Q&A 20th May
