SUMMARY:LIVE: Do You Feel Safe
DESCRIPTION:LIVE: Do You Feel Safe – 2:10-3:40pm \nThe Giverny Document (single channel) \nDirector: Ja’Tovia Gary \nProducer: Paige Wood Artesia Balthrop \nDocumentary\, 40 min. \nFilmed in Harlem\, USA and in Claude Monet’s historic gardens in Giverny\, France\, The Giverny Document is an experimental\, multi-textured cinematic poem that meditates on the safety and bodily autonomy of Black women. Filmmaker Ja’Tovia Gary unleashes an arsenal of techniques and materials including direct animation on archival 16mm film\, woman-on-the-street interviews\, and montage editing techniques to explore the creative virtuosity of Black femme performance while interrogating the histories of those bodies and lives as spaces of forced labor and commodified production. \nListen (Director’s Cut) \nProducer/Director/Writer: Jhanelle Elissa \nNarrative\, 10 min\, \nA Black woman who feels like a glitch in society decides to speak up. When her outer bubbly persona is met with exhaustive complacency\, she resorts to a tragic alternative with a smile.
