SUMMARY:PROCESS
DESCRIPTION:Memory doesn’t always arrive whole\, sometimes it’s passed down in sketches\, stitches\, and scraps of unfinished stories. These films trace artistic legacies through hands\, homes\, and histories\, revealing how creation becomes a form of kinship\, showing us us how inheritance gets reassembled in the wake of rupture.

SUMMARY:Everyday dignity: Philomena Essed
DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago\, scholar Philomena Essed sparked fierce public debate with her groundbreaking book\, Everyday Racism. Once seen as controversial\, the work is now recognised as a foundational text in the fight against racism. In this intimate and timely documentary\, filmmaker Ida Does follows Essed’s enduring journey as a pioneer\, thinker\, and bridge-builder between generations. The film explores what it takes to speak out for decades as a Black female scholar in a resistant society. And asks how one sustains that mission with grace\, wisdom\, and integrity?

SUMMARY:Possible landscapes
DESCRIPTION:‘Possible landscapes’ is a poignant exploration of intergenerational experiences of Caribbean environments\, filmed across two seasons in Trinidad and Tobago. Across sugarcane fields\, steep hillsides\, on fishing boats and through dying coral reefs\, the film presents intimate portraits of people in their daily lives and examines the impacts of colonial legacies\, post-independence aspirations\, and the evolving forces of extractivism.  A collaboration between filmmaker Kannan Arunasalam and professors Tao DuFour (Architecture) and Natalie Melas (Comparative Literature)\, it emerges from the research project Possible Landscapes: Documenting Environmental Experience in Trinidad and Tobago. Combining documentary and academic enquiry\, it foregrounds lived experience of landscape and environment.

SUMMARY:A mother apart
DESCRIPTION:How do you raise a child when your own mother abandoned you? In a remarkable story of healing and forgiveness\, Jamaican-American poet and LGBTQ+ activist Staceyann Chin\, renowned for performances in Def Poetry Slam and hit solo shows like MotherStruck!\, radically re-imagines the essential art of mothering. In seeking her elusive mother – a trail that leads to Brooklyn\, Montreal\, Cologne and\, finally\, Jamaica – Staceyann and her daughter forge a new sense of home.
