Film at Lincoln Center lists multiple Sunday screenings of Once Upon a Time in Harlem, including a 3:30 p.m. presentation followed by a 4 p.m. conversation with David Greaves, Liani Greaves and Anne de Mare. The film is also scheduled on the venue’s calendar through October 22.
William Greaves filmed a gathering of Harlem Renaissance artists and thinkers in Duke Ellington’s apartment in 1972. His son David completed the documentary decades later, assembling material that includes figures such as Aaron Douglas, Arna Bontemps and James Van Der Zee.
The 100-minute film appeared in this year’s New York Film Festival main slate; today’s listings are part of its continuing Film at Lincoln Center engagement, not a claim that the festival itself is still underway. Viewers can check the official schedule for screening and accessibility details.
