Screening as part of Digital Black-Centric Week.

After years of there only being a single 35mm print available for screenings, Leslie Harris’ ground-breaking Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. has been digitally restored in 4K in collaboration between UCLA Film & Television Archive, the Academy Archive, and Sundance.

Brooklyn teenager Chantel (played with naturalistic verve by Ariyan A Johnson) dreams of becoming a doctor - which she sees as a route out from the life her working-class parents lead in their housing projects home. Like Boyz N The Hood the previous year, Harris realistically considers the tough choices faced by teenage African-Americans of the period, this time with a female focus.
