About the event

Screening: The Watermelon Woman
Join us for a screening of The Watermelon Woman (Cheryl Dunye, 1996, 84 minutes). Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and written, directed and edited by Dunye, this romantic comedy explores long-standing constructions of race and sexuality on-screen. Dunye stars as a documentary filmmaker trying to identify an unnamed actress who plays a stereotypical “mammy” character in a 1930s plantation drama, a role that many Black actresses in Hollywood were relegated to at the time. This screening is co-presented by One Institute.
