SEE: INSTANT ANCESTRY AT MAYSLES CINEMA

INSTANT ANCESTRY streaming via Maysles Cinema from November 13th to November 26th.  Drawing on a wide range of archival material, the filmmakers in this program attempt to cohere questions of Black identity that have been obscured, suppressed, or erased by white supremacy and other dominative forces. These films move seamlessly between personal and political—between family albums, home movies, text correspondences, official documents, news clips, historical footage, and advertisements.  More details and online viewing at the Maysles Cinema site: LINK
