By Daphne Di Cinto
Il Moro (The Moor), directed by Daphne Di Cinto, is a short film delving into the overlooked narrative of Alessandro de’ Medici, Duke of Florence in 1530 and the first family member of African lineage to ascend to a leadership position in Renaissance Europe. By recounting Alessandro's unique history, the film endeavors to unearth a significant story from a forgotten past that sheds light on the ongoing struggles faced by Black Europeans today.Following the screening, a panel discussion, and Q&A with Bard Faculty
