Michael B. Gillespie is the author of Film Blackness: American Cinema and the Idea of Black Film and an associate professor of film at the City College of New York, CUNY.
Featuring a selection of Everson’s films from 2005 to the present, this program reveals his keen, poetic chronicles of everyday African American life and his excavations of its neglected histories. Neighbors describe how their community has changed, conflicting testimonies to deaths are related, and work—whether a hustle or a sanctioned job—is observed. For Everson, the films are “re-representations. The goal is to have certain formal qualities come out. But there’s a social, political, and economic condition that’s present. And that’s part of the materiality.”
