Filmmaker and photographer RaMell Ross‘s much-acclaimed, impressionistic and lyrical portrait of contemporary life in Hale County, Alabama.
The official blurb describes the film thusly: “In the lives of protagonists Daniel and Quincy, quotidian moments and the surrounding southern landscape are given importance, drawing poetic comparisons between historical symbols and the African American banal. Images are woven together to replace narrative arc with visual movements. As Ross crafts an inspired tapestry made up of time, the human soul, history, environmental wonder, sociology, and cosmic phenomena, a new aesthetic framework emerges that offers a new way of seeing and experiencing the heat, and the hearts of people in the Black Belt region of the U.S. as well far beyond.”
This Cinema Rediscovered screening in the Restored and Rediscovered season includes an introduction by writer, curator and broadcaster Adam Murray (Come The Revolution, Cables & Cameras, Ujima).
