Inspired by the Belcourt’s 100th anniversary last year, the beloved Hillsboro Village arthouse has carried its centennial programming into 2026 — and next on the agenda is a seminar on our city’s connection to Black cinema. Presented by Belcourt historian and archivist T. Minton, the hourlong presentation “Nashville’s Black Cinema Culture: A Hidden History of Film From Music City” will center not only on the Black filmmakers, performers and exhibitors who lived in or were connected to Nashville in the 20th century, but also the spaces that nurtured their talents. Following the seminar, the Belcourt will screen Stormy Weather in its 1966 Hall. Released during World War II and featuring performances from legends Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Bill Robinson and native Middle Tennessean Flournoy “F.E.” Miller, Stormy Weather is a trailblazing musical revue starring an all-Black cast. The screening and lecture tick three boxes on the Belcourt’s slate of ongoing series: Music City Mondays, Nashville: A City on Film and Belcourt 100 Seminars.
Seminar at 7 p.m., screening at 8 at the Belcourt
2102 Belcourt Ave.
