(USA/2024—directed by Titus Kaphar)

Titus Kaphar, one of the most significant contemporary painters whose work is featured at both the DIA and the Museum of Modern Art, creates images that are both multidisciplinary and rich in historical meaning. Kaphar brings this profound dynamism to his superb directorial debut, starring the extraordinary André Holland (Moonlight, Selma) as painter Tarrell Rodin.

In the film, Tarrell, a loving husband and father, faces upheaval as he prepares for a gallery show. His life is turned upside down by the unexpected return of his father (John Earl Jelks), whose past actions Tarrell cannot forgive.

As Tarrell works on his canvases, he reflects on his past, questioning if he can change the pain of his present. Kaphar's film is both provocative in its depiction of family crisis and thought-provoking about the role of Black voices in the contemporary art scene. It tackles difficult questions and avoids easy answers. The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. (117 minutes)

“A full experience, exceptional in its craft, with masterful performances.” –William Bibbiani, TheWrap
