Once Upon a Screen: Explosive Paradox

Kevin B. Lee

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: Film or Videomaking, Memory, Race, Youth/Childhood

A childhood experience is projected on a shadowy wall of a former movie theatre. A racist cinematic trauma passed between friends and family is remembered among the rustling of leaves and reflections of trees on an iPad screen. An essay about how past and present interrupt one another like movies being perpetually edited.
