“What happens to a dream deferred?” - Harlem by Langston Hughes 


Experience the power of storytelling through rhythm, verse, and visual art and discover the legacy of poets like Langston Hughes in watching the films told through poetry in our 2025 selection. These innovative works blend visual art with poetic expression, crafting narratives that invite you to explore emotions and ideas in a unique, lyrical format. 


hija de Florinda is a poetic offering, meditating on the spiritual connection between protecting the land and protecting our children. Set in the Florida Everglades, a young Naomi learns from her grandmother how to nurture nature's grief through the ancestral practice of controlled burns. By integrating archival footage of Dominican farmer and abolitionist Mama Tingo (Florinda Soriano), this film invites us to mourn alongside Mama Earth as she calls upon all of her children.
