Otis’ Dream

Directed by Jason and Blue (USA, 2020, 14 min.)
In 1946 when attempting to vote was literally deadly, some among us were willing to do whatever was necessary to vote. This film follows Otis Moss Sr. through his daylong journey to cast his ballot in rural Georgia. Powerful, poignant— and prescient as today’s struggles with voter suppression multiply.

If There Is No Struggle

Directed by Jarred Katsiane (USA, 2021, 13 min.)

A young photographer celebrates historical figures via Boston’s public art.

With a live Q&A and performance.
