Dir. Alexis McCrimmon / 2025 / 15 mins / USA / English / Documentary, Experimental / International Premiere

A televisual stream of consciousness assembled from archival footage set in the Black media explosion of the 1980s.

Rippling with VHS fog and analog distortion, Alexis McCrimmon’s brilliantly fragmented remix of public-access television, video diaries, citizen journalism and commercial mass media serves as a seance for Black America in the Reagan era, circumventing glib nostalgia to commune with musical and poetry performance, documentation of state violence, political theatre, and expressions of Black love.
