"Hallelujah" screening on NJCU campus

On Wednesday, October 29 at 6:30pm the classic 1929 film "Hallelluhah" by King Vidor will be screened in the Margaret Williams Theater.

Made at the dawn of the Hollywood's sound era, "Hallelujah" is a milestone musical which tells the hardscrabble story of a southern sharecropper turned evangelist whose life goes awry. King Vidor was nominated for a Best Director Academy Award for "Hallelujah," his first sound film.

Noted film critic Donald Bogle will be the guest speaker in a program co-presented by NJCU, the Department of Media Arts, the Black Maria Film Festival, and Newark Black Film Festival.
