Special Screenings on March 7th and 8th – Film followed by a Q&A with director Suzannah Herbert
Natchez captures an unsettling clash between history and memory in a small Mississippi town; a layered mosaic of people contending with the weight of the past in a place where it is always present.
Equal parts amusing and disturbing, we journey through an antebellum tourist destination at a crossroads as it grapples with a deeply troubled history that is so thoroughly ingrained in its present, we’re left to wonder if it’s actually past at all.
The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, where it won the Best Documentary Feature award.
