At the dawn of the 20th century, a multi-generational family in the Gullah community on the Sea Islands off of South Carolina—former West African slaves who adopted many of their ancestors’ Yoruba traditions—struggle to maintain their cultural heritage and folklore while contemplating a migration to the mainland, even further from their roots. The first wide release by a Black woman filmmaker, Daughters of the Dust was met with wild critical acclaim and rapturous audience response when it initially opened in 1991. Casting a long legacy, the film still resonates today, most recently as a major influence on Beyonce’s video album Lemonade and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. Proper color grading of the new 2K restoration was overseen by cinematographer Arthur Jafa, ensuring audiences will finally see the film exactly as Dash intended. Restored from the original internegative at Modern Videofilm with assistance from the UCLA Film & Television Archive. [112 min; drama, romance; French and English]

They’re young. They’re ruthless. They’re covered in glitter and blood. A team of competitive dancers claw their way toward glory while their inner lives explode with ambition, shame, lust, and rage.

“Welcoming Fall” | Student Recital
This is a social support group for LGBTQ+ adults.
After accidentally becoming witnesses to a Chicago gang shooting, jazz musicians Joe and Jerry (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) have no money and nowhere to hide, forcing them to take a gig with an all-female band at a Florida resort. Armed with bad wigs and even worse falsettos, Joe and Jerry transform into Josephine and Daphne, a cover that quickly tests their mettle as Joe pursues the band’s bombshell of a singer (a radiant Marilyn Monroe), a lecherous millionaire playboy pursues Jerry, and the mob boss who started it all pursues both men.

According to a post made by Mr. Roznowski on facebook about an hour ago (8:30pm on 9/5/25): “I will be playing a selection of original songs at The County Heritage Winery at 225 S. Van Buren St. in Nashville, Indiana from 6:00 to 9:00 PM on Saturday, September 27. Not necessarily the height of fall color but Carolyn Dutton will be joining me on violin and that will surely be a spectacle. We plan on having big fun.”
This screening will include a recorded introduction by director Brittany Shyne.
With remarkable intimacy, Seeds documents the everyday lives of Black generational farmers—cotton harvesting, chasing cows, dealing with broken machinery and financial precarities. Director Brittany Shyne’s camera relishes simple moments—conversations through car windows, candy from grandma’s purse as it captures moments of warmth, joy and fulfillment—turning them into striking vignettes that honor the families’ connection to the land and each other. But the sobering reality underscores the urgency of their story: Black farmers owned 16 million acres of land in1910 but today, that number has dwindled to a fraction. The farmers in the community struggle to access funding that white farmers nearby seem to secure with ease. Through these intergenerational stories, we see the cycles of inequity and embedded racism that persist to this present day, and the signs of hope and renewal with younger generations of farmers. Seeds emphasizes how human beings are innately tied to our foundational roots, roots which carry our ancestral memories—somber, bitter, and sweet.
