SUMMARY:Film Screening: Love & Basketball with Nneka Chisholm
DESCRIPTION:Research Education at University Libraries workshops equip 
 researchers with the tools\, concepts\, and skills needed for every stage 
 of the research lifecycle.\n\nJoin us for a screening of Love & Basketball 
 with a discussion moderated by UMD Libraries Diversity\, Equity\, and 
 Inclusion Officer and doctoral candidate Nneka Chisholm. Popcorn and sodas 
 will be provided. This event is limited to 50 attendees\, so be sure to 
 register in advance!\n\nFrom The Criterion Collection: Sparks fly both on 
 and off the court in this groundbreaking feature debut by writer-director 
 Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Old Guard)\, which elevated the coming-of-age 
 romance by giving honest expression to the challenges female athletes face 
 in a world that doesn’t see them as equal. Sanaa Lathan (Alien vs. 
 Predator) and Omar Epps (Higher Learning) make for one of the most iconic 
 screen couples of the 2000s as the basketball-obsessed next-door neighbors 
 who find love over flirtatious pickup games\, fall apart under the strain 
 of high-pressure college hoops and families\, and drift in and out of each 
 other’s lives as they pursue their twin aspirations of playing 
 professionally. Aided by stellar supporting performances and an eclectic 
 R&B soundtrack\, Love & Basketball captures the intoxicating passions\, 
 heartbreaking setbacks\, and sky-high ambitions that mark a young woman’s 
 journey to the top of her game and to lasting love.\n\nThis film screening 
 is a part of the "Love on the Brain: Researching Romance in Popular 
 Culture" programming for February's Scholarship as Conversation series.
