Opening Night Screening
FORGING TRADITIONS

Friday, June 11, 2021
7pm PT

From the African diaspora where spiritual worship entwines music and dance, to a Filipinx woman whose heritage sparks a call to revolution, to a Black Latina girl embracing community and change, these films trace the seismic rumbles of our ancestors, radiate healing across generations, and etch paths for new growth.

A Chumash and Tataviam man with medium brown skin and shoulder-length white hair, wearing an Indigenous-style bowler hat. He is sitting outside with his left arm stretched up toward animated white silhouettes of flying birds.

At the corner of a city intersection, two Filipinx femmes with medium brown skin and dark brown hair look off into the distance. One points in the same direction with kali sticks, wearing a red-gold malong. In front of her, the other sits on a large rock, wearing a white top and green floral pants.
