Classic Black Cinema Series: Black Orpheus

"""Black Orpheus"" will be available for streaming all day on February 14 by visiting classicblackcinemaseries.com. About ""Black Orpheus"" Marcel Camus’ “Black Orpheus” is a French made, Brazilian version of the Greek legend “Orpheus and Eurydice” which plays like an Italian Opera. The movie begins with a small town girl aptly named Eurydice (Marpessa Dawn) arriving by boat to Rio De Janeiro, after having run away from home and hoping to live with her cousin Serafina (Lea Garcia). Soon after her arrival she bumps into the handsome trolley driver Orfeu (Breno Mello) who immediately falls in love with her. About Classic Black Cinema Series Created in 2008 in Charlotte, NC, the Classic Black Cinema Series (C.B.C.S.) has been specifically designed as a vehicle to expose the community to the vast artistic value black film has had around the globe throughout the years. The series showcases the amazing diversity of cultures and experiences that are woven within the African Diaspora through a selection of films. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/classic-black-cinema-series-black-orpheus-tickets-140404498635?aff=ebdsoporgprofile"
