Writer/director Bomani J. Story attending the 6:30pm screening on Saturday, April 15th at the Capri Theater.

“It has been a dream of mine to bring an adaptation of Frankenstein to film through the Black lens with a lead character as smart as my sister.” Director Bomani J. Story has done just that with The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, a stunning and fresh take on Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s classic.

Director Laura Moss Attending 4/19.

Rose is not a fan of people, but loves working on their dead bodies as a pathologist. Celie is a maternity nurse with a precocious six-year-old. In director Laura Moss’ debut, a stunning riff on Frankenstein, their two worlds collide with terrifying effect. 

A deliriously different take on the super-hero and Holocaust genres, dubbed by one critic “A Shoah-reversing fantasy of liberation and revenge.” In Fascist Rome, four circus artistes with special talents fall into the clutches of Nazi impresario Franz. Delightful and spectacular. Winner, Audience Award, Rotterdam. –Alissa Simon
