Twice as Nice: Presented by Kalimah Abioto
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Presented by local writer, filmmaker, and musician Kalimah Abioto, Twice as Nice is the second film by Jessie Maple, a pioneering independent African American filmmaker whose first film, Will (1981), was the first feature-length independent film produced by an African American woman. Maple also made history as the first black woman admitted to New York’s camera operators union. Maple was also a journalist and ran her own independent theater, 20 West, out of her brownstone in Harlem. The film Twice as Nice (1989) is Maple’s second feature, exploring the bond between twin college basketball players.
