The third publication from a series of six commissioned by Lightbox Film Center in Philadelphia as part of their film restoration project led by Jesse Pires.

Published on the occasion of the restoration of Naked Acts (Bridgett Davis, USA, 1996, 87 min.)

Lightbox Film Center, University of the Arts, Bridgett M. Davis and Maya S. Cade.

Film Center at University of the Arts (Philadelphia) in collaboration with Milestone Film, with support from Ron and Suzanne Naples. This 2023 restoration is from the 16mm a/b rolls preserved at the Indiana University Black Film Center & Archive.

Lightbox Film Center advances underrepresented and unexpected modes and makers of moving image art. Building a community around a shared reverence for cinema, we celebrate the projected image as a framework for diverse ideas and perspectives.
