This block of films explores narrative themes woven together around relationships, family, and fragility in navigating this terrain.&nbsp;

In *The Language of Joy*, based on a poem of the same name by JacquelineAllen Trimble, a daughter’s imagination soars as her mother tells her a story about what happened one wonderful day when she was walking down the street looking particularly good. Everything is fabulous until an unexpected visitor threatens to ruin the mother’s happiness. The film celebrates the failure of anything, small or large, to steal black women’s joy.

The Language of Joy

Infintilization is a time traveling story that serves as a cautionary allegory for what we lose when we blindly pursue ambitions at all costs and the inherited burden of generational trauma. The inherited burden of ghosts from past black scientists and inventors whose legacies were stolen hunts the Father. These ghosts represent his purpose, but his quest for redemption overpowers his responsibility to their legacy. Will his failure become his daughter’s inheritance, or will she be able to summon the power to forgive, pursue her own legacy and let the ghosts finally rest?
