The films in this block explore the ways that we are in continuous rhythm and harmony with the ancestors.

FLOWERS is an afro-futuristic fairytale of love, following a ceremony of a mother giving away her son. Our protagonist is gifted with a heavy crown by his mother to the disappointment of his overlooked brothers. A crown of glory. A crown that comes with a mission and a price. This is a story about the deep, transformative power of love, a story about family, purpose, and realizing one’s destiny.


Flowers reimagines what a black fairy tale would look and feel like, adopting references to classic Disney stories from the 1930s-50s and modernizing tropes for this whimsical coming-of-age tale.
