Assembled through field recordings, voice messages, and photographs, Echolocation is a layered experiment exploring existence in the aftermath of change. Nominated for Best Experimental Film.

Echolocation

The film seeks to track and trace movement/ migration between countries. The narrative revolves around water and the recurring sonic landscape of the sea, as a portal between realms and worlds, and a site of myth-making and storytelling.

The Season of Burning Things

On the occasion of her pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Simone Leigh co-directs a film with Madeleine Hunt - Ehrlich in her studio. Nominated for Best Experimental Film.

Conspiracy

Black Beauty is a visual diary that traces Elle’s story in her own words—as she reconnects with loved ones from the past, recalls her coming of age experience as a woman from the Midwest, and reflects on her journey as a movement leader and founding strategic partner of BLM.

Black Beauty

A rumination on time, loss, and hope, and a poetic imagining of the quest of Sha'Carri Richardson, a young track and field athlete, to achieve her dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games. Nominated for Best Short Documentary Film.
