Introducing Black Stories: A Collection of 30 Short Films
Black Stories is the latest collection now available to Tulane students, staff, and Faculty through the Library’s Kanopy subscription.
The Black Stories Collection features award-winning shorts like
- I Never Picked Cotton (directed by Hanna Adams) and
- Coda (directed by Erika Davis-Marsh).
The collection also includes early cinematic works by well-known filmmakers such as
- Channing Godfrey Peoples (Carry Me Home; known for Miss Juneteenth and Doretha’s Blues)
- Ryan Coogler (Fig and Locks; known for Sinners, Creed, Black Panther, Fruitvale Station)
- Jon M. Chu (Silent Beats; known for Wicked, Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights).
Several of these shorts are available with public performance rights (PPR), which means you can include them in campus film screening events! Eligible films will have the letters PPR inside a box next to their title information.
