Free Talk: Zeinabu irene Davis & Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich
Join Compensation director Zeinabu irene Davis and The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire director Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich for a conversation about the influences and inspirations behind their debut features, both hauntingly lyrical portraits of brilliant Black women navigating personal relationships and political commitments with unflinching grace and conviction.
This free Talk will take place on Sunday, October 6 at 6:00pm in the EBM Amphitheater.
Feature-filmmaking debuts made 25 years apart, Zeinabu irene Davis’s Compensation (NYFF62 Revivals) and Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire (NYFF62 Currents) share a number of remarkable thematic affinities. Taking inspiration from works of poetry to eloquently dramatize questions of language, self-expression, and creative agency, both films play ingeniously with the frameworks of genre and form to tell radical love stories that unfold across time and space, marked by the cultural, social, and political forces that have defined the African diaspora in Europe and North America. Join Davis and Hunt-Ehrlich for a far-reaching conversation about the influences and inspirations behind their debut features, both hauntingly lyrical portraits of brilliant Black women navigating personal relationships and political commitments with unflinching grace and fierce conviction. Moderated by Kazembe Balagun, Executive Director of the Maysles Documentary Center.
