Short Film Showcase

The special presentation highlights the works of six aspiring African-American filmmakers, winners of the Black Arts Film Festival Student Film Competition, in association with Showtime Networks. The films include Rayce R. Denton’s Flight of the Bumblebee, an exploration of the unlikely union between a thug on the mend and an abused woman; P.J. Johnson’s Marriage and Margaret Cooper, a comedy about infidelity; Marc Dayo Harewood’s Bliss, about a young woman photographer’s attraction to a mysterious graffiti writer; Stephanie L. Jones’s Gabrielle, the story of an unborn soul who is given a glimpse of her future; Alphonzo Wesson’s We Are Not Vanishing, an account of how Dr. Dorothy Height created the Black Family Reunion; and 2000 Showcase grant-winner Niva Dorell’s Milk and Honey, the moving tale of a black soldier and a young Israeli girl in 1952 Texas.
