Array Releasing premieres Haile Gerima’s rarely-screened 1982 drama about a Vietnam war veteran struggling to come to terms with his role in the war and as a Black man in America.
The film “Ashes and Embers,” long respected and admired by many film buffs, never got a wide theatrical release, or was shown before a mass audience. That is, until now.
The 1982 film is part of Array Classics, a new film initiative whose goal is to connect rarely seen gems with a new audience.
Selma director Ava DuVernay’s next contribution to the film world may not include directing a Star Wars film but it will include the film collective she founded Array Releasing.
Array Releasing, the LA-based film collective founded by filmmaker Ava DuVernay, has acquired the never-before-released “Ashes and Embers,” one of the landmark films of Haile Gerima.
