INTRODUCING CIFF LOVE LETTERS: Valentines day has come early! We’ve thought a lot this year about how we can build connections between audience members and filmmakers within a virtual space. One of the hardest things about this year for filmmakers, is that they have not been able to forge spontaneous connections with audiences and hear from them directly. If you’ve seen a film you have loved, click HERE to write a love letter to a filmmaker!
In the days leading up to the annual T Ball—an event in which Miami’s black community assembles to model wildly innovative R.I.P. t-shirts and costumes designed to honor their deceased loved ones—three participants are profiled as they prepare and process grief. T is an examination of the will to survive and find joy in psychically draining circumstances. But ultimately, though, T is a visual and sonic Afrofuturist spell of transcendence.
