FFR 116: Atlantics

Published: Feb. 26, 2020, 10 a.m.

b'This week, FFR takes a journey into the genre-defying cinematic poesy of Mati Diop\\u2019s Atlantics. The highly acclaimed, supernaturally-tinged drama, screened in competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival -- and surprisingly/horrifyingly, it was the first film directed by a Black woman to do so. Join us for a discussion of Diop\\u2019s remarkable film, and the necessity and joy of exploring art from a non-white, non-Western perspective.'
