Filmes

The Hikers
The Hikers
Director
Seven minutes in length, the film features two black male hikers — one ascending a mountain, another descending — who encounter each other as their paths cross. Their balletic movements are at once lithe and halting, athletic and awkward, challenging stereotypical notions of the forever rhythmic elegance of the black body in space.
Filho Nativo
Filho Nativo
Director
A HBO apresenta uma releitura do romance seminal de Richard Wright de 1940, Filho Nativo, que segue Bigger Thomas (Ashton Sanders), um jovem afro-americano que trabalha como motorista de um rico empresário em Chicago. Conforme adentra o mundo sedutor do dinheiro e do poder, Bigger se depara com cenários inesperados que, em uma América racialmente dividida, vão construindo um instigante thriller.

Black and Blue
Black and Blue
On the surface, Black and Blue appears to be a “day in life” of a protagonist, played by Johnson. It begins with him waking up in bed and getting ready in the bathroom. Filmed in his home and featuring his family, Black and Blue takes its title from the Fats Waller jazz standard (popularized by Louis Armstrong), which can be heard in the video (played on the piano by Johnson’s son). The film is also connected to Johnson’s work and artistic practice, showing interspersed clips of his own as well as artworks by other Black artists (like Deana Lawson), books ( like Roy deCarava), and traditional African masks in his home.
