a djones film - projects

Influenced by the summer of 2020--often labeled as the United States reckoning on race--
2020AD visualizes the labor of engaging "the talk" while imagining an alternative,
more generative confrontation drawing from the archive, the ancestors,
and the anticipation of death in the midst of fighting for life.

White-Angle pairs a White director of a documentary film about black injustice with a Black filmmaker to discuss the roles of perspective and privilege in both art and life.
