In the summer of 1972, the late filmmaker William Greaves sent out invitations that promised a "gathering of artists and intellectuals — the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance." He filmed that cocktail party but never ended up completing a full-length documentary. Now, 50 years later, his son and granddaughter have restored that footage and turned it into a new film, “Once Upon a Time in Harlem.” Nil Köksal sits down with director David Greaves and producer Liani Greaves during the week of their Canadian premiere at TIFF.
