A podcast focused on all things cinematic
Emmanuelle Perryman (that’s me) is the host and producer of The Reel Woman: A podcast about all things cinematic. I earned a degree in Cinema Studies from The City College of New York and have spent the last 20 years working in a variety of film-related jobs in New York, Los Angeles, and Detroit. I’ve taught film to both adults and school-age children, interned at the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals as well as in the Film Department of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Over the years I have gained many friends and acquaintances who are involved, in various ways, in film, music, fashion, academia, and politics. I’am thrilled now to have them join me as guests on my podcast to discuss our shared love of movies and talk about the ones that have inspired and influenced them.
In this episode, I speak with documentary filmmaker James Spooner on his groundbreaking film afro-punk (2003). We cover his experience in the punk scene, the genesis of the movie, the production, reception, and the movement it has spawned. The movie is available to watch on YouTube.
