"Black Lives Matter," Criterion president Peter Becker and CEO Jonathan Turell said in a statement. "The anguish and fury unleashed all across the country are rooted in centuries of dehumanization and death,” the statement said. “This pattern must stop. We support the protesters who have taken to the streets to demand justice, and we share their hopes. We are committed to fighting systemic racism.” According to The Playlist, some of the filmmakers that Criterion is promoting right now include Oscar Micheaux, Maya Angelou, Julie Dash, William Greaves, Kathleen Collins, Cheryl Dunye, Charles Burnett, Khalik Allah and Leilah Weinraub.
