Directed by George A. Romero
1968, USA, 96 min

A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben (Duane Jones) does his best to control the situation, but when the reanimated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic. As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside — and one by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones. 

March 17 screening will feature a preshow of short films by Ben Williams, Monika Estrella Negra and Mariama Diallo.

Black Horror: Perspectives & Interventions is generously sponsored by IATSE 856 Manitoba.

Reviews

Duane Jones’ Ben in Night of the Living Dead is amongst the prime examples of groundbreaking and significant depictions of Black characters and race relations in the genre, especially for its debut during the height of one of the most racially charged times in American history.
