Award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph will discuss her acclaimed film “Secrets” at the Black Women Film Preservation Project’s first annual Black Women Film Festival. In addition to Ralph’s film, the festival will screen a film short by Erica Jorgensen entitled “A Chocolate Chip Cookie.” Jorgenson is the winner of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ National Student Television Award for Excellence. Her film tells the story of how a young girl synthesizes the two worlds of her black mother and white father. There will also be a showing of “All Our Sons,” produced by Lillian Benson. The film chronicles the story of 12 African-American firefighters in New York during September 11. Benson is the first African American female member of American Cinema Editors. Also planned: a panel discussion with Ralph, Kathleen McGhee-Anderson, executive producer of the television program “Soul Food” and Alyce Emory, co-founder of the Hip Hop Odyssey Film Festival. The festival is free.
