SUMMARY:SHORTS BLOCK: DEPOSITED IN THIS LAND OF STRANGERS
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DESCRIPTION\n\n\n\n\nEmploying a variety of cinematic forms and strategies\, the five films in this programme engender lingering\, often poetic diasporic dialogues—between here and there\, then and now. \n\n\nBISAGRAS \nBy Luis Arias | 16 mins | 2024 | Senegal\, Brazil\, USA \n“Bisagras” is a film exploring the enduring here and elsewhere of black consciousness. Finding a connection through the film’s emulsion and my skin\, Bisagras holds my experience as a person of Afro-Caribbean descent during a visit to the House of Slaves in Gorée Island\, Senegal and the port of Salvador de Bahia\, Brazil. In these places I dare to imagine my ancestors’ history of the journey of African slaves to America and draw a line that goes through me.” – Luis Arnías \nWE DEH HERE \nBy Maybelle Peters | 7 mins | 2025 | UK \nWe Deh Here traces the relationship between Scotland and Guyana through photography\, sewing\, genealogical research\, and matrilineal lines. Combining stills of historical sites in Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands with audio conversations between the artist and her mother\, the film investigates and speculates on their interconnection as an expression of British and Scottish colonialism. \nBLUE HEART \nBy Samuel Suffren | 15 mins | 2025 | Haiti \nMarianne and Pétion live in Haiti and wait impatiently for a call from their son in the USA. As silence sets in\, their fears and worries grow\, revealing the fractures in their own lives. The promise of the American dream now seems to elude them\, as the line between hope and reality becomes increasingly blurred. \nYOULOGY/NO GHOSTS \nBy Darryl Daley | 8 mins | 2023 | UK \nYoulogy / No Ghosts explores cyclical motifs of arrival and departure through the artist’s grandmother’s migration to the United Kingdom and her posthumous return to Jamaica\, creating a transcendental frame where memory and time merge. In this speculative space\, the film navigates beyond the confines of mortality\, reimagining a future where inherited stories resist linearity. \nA RIVER HOLDS A PERFECT MEMORY  \nBy Hope Strickland | 17 mins | 2024 | Jamaica\, UK \n“The original premise of a river holds a perfect memory was based on a series of labor protests in January 2016\, St Elizabeth\, Jamaica that highlighted the complex\, racio-colonial capitalist logics that continue to shape the use of Black River. Rivers fascinate me for myriad reasons: they hold within them the poetics of collapsed time and diasporic memory\, alongside complex flows of resource and labor extraction. Spending time researching reservoirs and industry in the North of England and rivers with my extended family in Jamaica\, the more these worlds seemed to swirl and eddy together.” – Hope Strickland

SUMMARY:WEST INDIES: THE FUGITIVE SLAVES OF LIBERTY
DESCRIPTION:By: Med Hondo \n\n\n\n\n\nCountry: Mauritania\, Algeria\, France\nLanguage: French w/English Subs\nDuration: 116 mins\nYear: 1979\nGenre: Fiction\n\n\n\nSYNOPSIS\n\n\n\n\nMauritanian French director Med Hondo’s West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty\, presented at THFF25 in a new restoration\,  proved a watershed event for African cinema—the continent’s first musical as well as a sui generis amalgam of historical epic\, Broadway revue\, Brechtian theater\, and joyous agitprop. Using an enormous mock slave ship as the film’s only soundstage\, Hondo mounts intricately choreographed reenactments and dance numbers across his multipurpose set to investigate more than three centuries of imperialist oppression. The story traverses the Caribbean\, Europe\, Africa\, and the Middle Passage; jumps across time to depict the effects of official French policy upon the colonized\, the enslaved\, and their descendants; and surveys the actions and motivations of the resigned\, the revolutionary\, and the powers that be (along with their lackeys). No mere extravaganza\, West Indies is a call to arms for a spectacular yet critical cinematic reimagining of an entire people’s history of resistance and struggle. \nWe are pleased that THFF alumna filmmaker Annabelle Aventurin\, who oversaw the restoration of West Indies\, will be present for a special introduction to the film.  \nWest Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty screens at THFF25 as part of the retrospective program You Don’t Get Freedom\, You Take Freedom: Caribbean Activist Cinema 1978–1985.

SUMMARY:Coronoer To The Starts
DESCRIPTION:Documentary \nEnglish \nUnited States \nCoroner to the Stars chronicles the extraordinary journey of Dr. Thomas Noguchi\, the former Los Angeles County chief medical examiner-coroner\, whose groundbreaking autopsies forever shaped American culture. \nFrom Marilyn Monroe and Robert Kennedy to Sharon Tate and Natalie Wood\, Noguchi pushed forensic science into the spotlight – even as Hollywood elites and political adversaries sought to silence him. A Japanese immigrant who unwittingly rose to fame in a city driven by stardom\, Noguchi’s fearless pursuit of truth often placed him in the crosshairs of controversy. \nBest described as “CSI meets TMZ\,” Coroner to the Stars is a behind-the-curtains look at someone who shaped the way we – and history – view the deaths of some of our most beloved fallen icons. \nDIRECTED BY BEN HETHCOAT\, KEITA IDENO \n2025 \n83 MINS
