Albany FilmFest Presents is thrilled to host this special online screening of the acclaimed short film THE QUEEN OF BASKETBALL, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. This film and the Q&A will be available for viewing through March 31.

From director Ben Proudfoot and executive producer Shaquille O’Neal, this film is an electrifying portrait of Lusia “Lucy” Harris who scored the first basket in women’s Olympic history and was the first and only woman officially drafted into the N.B.A. Despite her incredible accomplishments, Harris, who died unexpectedly on January 18, has remained largely unknown — until now. Here, she shares her story in her own words.
