Movie Night - Frames of Jazz

A weekly Wednesday screening program exploring jazz through film; its origins, culture, politics, and evolution. Across three themed seasons, we explore the music’s foundations, its connection to Black history and the voices of women in jazz.

It’s not just watching documentaries—it’s treating jazz as something seen, studied, and shared in a community space.
