We need you! 
Alfreda's Cinema aspires to grow into our own brick-and-mortar microcinema in Brooklyn. From the beginning, this has been our intention and we believe now is the time. The time is now! And with your support, we know we can get there. You believe in us and we believe in you. Our GoFundMe is now closing in on $10,000, towards an $85K goal. 

Can you help us get there?

Please continue to share and donate if you can.

Press for Alfreda's Cinema

"Alfreda’s Cinema is bringing rich, dynamic and hopeful Black stories back to the big screens of Black audiences."
— Kimberlean Donis of BK Reader

"Curated by Melissa Lyde, Protect Black Women is framed as a call to action which centers the lives and interiority of those who have “historically been the most vulnerable,” on the eve of Kamala Harris’s inauguration as vice president." 
— Dessane Lopez Cassell of Hyperallergic

" The talk will feature Melissa Lyde, whose film programs have emphasized the voices of artists of color, and Ed Halter, who helped rediscover [Ed] Owens’s movies."
— Ben Kenigsberg of the New York Times
