Was That On Purpose? And Other Good Film Notes

On March 2nd at 3pm in the Harrington Hub at Ranger Hall Room 103, the Harrington Forum presents Was That On Purpose? And Other Good Film Notes, a retrospective screening and director’s talk by Professor Kendall Moore (Journalism and Film Media).

Professor Moore will discuss the evolution of her film work, from the early 1990s to 2019, and trace her changing aesthetic styles and choices. She will share examples of her work and references from other works of art to explain how certain choices, made by artists of African descent, are part of a larger resistance movement.

Kendall Moore is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and Professor of Journalism and Film Media at URI. She earned a Ph.D. at the European Graduate School, an M.A. at The New School, and a B.A. at Syracuse. Before arriving at URI, Moore worked as a television journalist focusing on medical, health, race, and environmental issues.
