Statement from the Curator: Curtis Caesar John, The Luminal Theater
Heart of the Matter, our theme for this second edition of OUR RIGHT TO GAZE, speaks to the impetus behind this series, but equally reflects how poignantly our filmmakers depict the complexities of inevitable but necessary change - all from multifaceted, Black points of view. With both modern and prescient sensibilities, our lineup reflects the physical, emotional, cultural, and intergenerational struggles of Black life, but also the joys and triumphs within. I hope you will all be moved by and enjoy the distinct stories that these emerging filmmakers have shared with us, and the world.
