Special Screenings 2025Description:
An experimental documentary about my grandfather’s happiest memory inter-cut with photographs from my childhood and overlaid text from Trinh Minh-Ha’s “Mechanical Eye, Electronic Ear and the Lure of Authenticity” (1984) and Christina Sharpe’s In the Wake: On Blackness and Being (2016). The layered text critiques the usual voices we listen for within the documentary and how international visual culture is ingrained within the English language.
