Film Reviews & Essays

Dennis Leroy Moore (DLM) -- New York City guerilla filmmaker -- was born in 1976 in Flushing, NY and is first-generation American. His parents are originally from Port of Spain, Trinidad. His first independent feature film As an Act of Protest, a lacerating, surreal drama about racism in America, was picked as the best “Black Film of the year” by The Black World Today and called “powerful” by Variety magazine. Needless to say, DLM’s work has begun to garner critical attention within the NY underground and across the country. Both political and personal, DLM’s work speaks specifically to the emerging generation of artists, the hip-hop community, and the alienated people of American society. In February 2003, DLM received an honorarium from UNC, Chapel Hill for a special discussion and screening of As an Act of Protest. It originally premiered at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, February 2002. more
