Behind the Lens: 35 Years of Black Filmmaking in Japan

Join Us for a NABEA Conversation with Regge Life! Step into the world of international filmmaking with acclaimed director and educator Regge Life, whose groundbreaking career has spanned film, television, and theater across the U.S. and Japan.

Now a professor of film at Emerson College, Regge reflects on his 35+ years of storytelling—highlighting the experiences of African Americans in Japan, navigating cross-cultural identity, and creating space for diverse voices in global media. From his early days directing for The Cosby Show and Sesame Street to his celebrated documentaries on race and identity in Asia, Regge brings deep insight and wisdom to this conversation.

Whether you’re a filmmaker, student, or simply curious about how art bridges cultures, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
