Bordeline (1930) introduced by The Paul Robeson House of Princeton

This May we have partnered with our friends from The Paul Robeson House of Princeton to present this rarely screened drama from 1930 BORDERLINE. A representative from The Paul Robeson House will introduce the screening. Tickets are available now at princetongardentheatre.org/specials

Paul Robeson, an All-American athlete, scholar, esteemed baritone, stage actor, social activist, and fellow Princetonian, was a pioneering figure in the burgeoning film industry. Working outside of the studio system, he achieved prominence as a leading movie star and portrayed positive representations of Black characters on-screen. BORDERLINE is a noteworthy entry in his filmography, showcasing Robeson and his wife Eslanda as lovers entangled in a complex web of interracial relationships. This silent film uniquely combines avant-garde, experimental techniques with elements of domestic melodrama. Initially believed to be lost, it was rediscovered in Switzerland in 1983 and subsequently restored by the George Eastman House.
