Join one of two virtual screenings of “Passing” in preparation of two virtual panels hosted by Northeastern and Boston College respectfully.
Passing is a novel by American author Nella Larsen, first published in 1929. Set primarily in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City in the 1920s, the story centers on the reunion of two childhood friends—Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield—and their increasing fascination with each other's lives. The film is based on the novel and is directed by Rebecca Hall, and stars Ruth Negga and Tessa Thompson.
More information on the panel hosted by Boston College to be posted soon.
