My Criterion Channel recommendations: *Losing Ground *Cane River (Louisiana Romeo and Juliet, but Creoles vs non-Creoles!) *Symbiopsychotaxiplasm Take One & Take 2 1/2 *Down in the Delta (dir. by Maya Angelou!) *Daughters of the Dust (Arthur Jafa!) *My Brother's Wedding *Sidewalk Stories
Losing ground in particular is phenomenal
It's my favorite on the list.
great list
And Neptune Frost!! In near-future alt.Burundi, Neptune, an outcast who likes wearing high heels, goes in search of “fourth dimensional libations”. Led by a priestess praying to the “Motherboard”, he transitions to become an elegant woman who joins with head of the hackers’ village collective.
Neptune Frost is on Kanopy and Hoopla too (both free at some public libraries).
Also Cauleen Smith's "Drylongso" (1989) It follows a young woman in a photography class who begins taking pictures of black men out of fear they will soon be extinct. An incredibly beautiful film, it was filmed in Oakland. #BHM #CriterionCollection #Film
