"From the Block" - Black Harvest Film Fest

Black femmes claim space in the punk scene. A Chicago artist brings the histories of Black cowboys, farmers and aviators into public view. A grieving woman goes looking for honey and finds herself facing a loss she’s been trying to avoid. These are three of the six shorts in From the Block, Black Harvest’s Chicago showcase. The lineup includes Monet-Chanel Khanyahl’s Sistas in the Pit, Kevin Shaw’s portrait of artist Bernard Williams, and Abdeljaleel Ismail’s Plight of the Honeybee, told in English and Sudanese Arabic. After Friday’s screening, stick around for the Big Picture Party, hosted by the Black Harvest Community Council.
