A highlight of the evening will be the first screening of excerpts from one of Professor Berry’s most recent projects, the first-ever Belizean television dramatic series “Noh Matta Wat!”   These excerpts will frame his discussion about his experiences in developing a community-based approach to film and television production in the USA and Belize.

Professor Berry is also a film producer, writer and director with several independent film credits to his name, including a full-length horror feature film, “The Embalmer” (1996).  He is the co-author of The 50 Most   Influential Black Films: A Celebration of African American Talent, Determination & Creativity (2001,) and Historical Dictionary of African American Cinema (2007).
