A Reincarnation of Sorts

If you’ve got nothing to do tonight, or if you’ve got something to do, but want better plans, head over to the Gordon Theater, and check out DJ Spooky’s self-proclaimed “digital exorcism”: “Rebirth of a Nation.”

Commissioned by the Lincoln Center Festival (amongst others), DJ Spooky created "Rebirth of a Nation" in 2004, and has been touring it ever since. It is based on the filmThe Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith (which gave rise to the movie industry while promoting the KKK). The show is made up of DJ Spooky's remixed footage from the original film on three screens with a trip-hop soundtrack.

Prior to the event, there will be a free roundtable discussion with DJ Spooky and members of the Film and African American Studies departments from Rutgers University-Camden.
