Set in the impending ruins of Africville its mix of archival footage and fictionalized performance packs a powerful punch about what ruins can both conceal and reveal.John Akomfrah, The Last Angel of History, 1996 (45 mins)This film refuses genre. Nonetheless it narrates how genius arises from the supposed ruins of transatlantic slavery to provide the us a world of Black Atlantic musical forms . These musical forms bend sound, invent new sounds, and in the process reshape the human and engage in unending invention.Cauleen Smith, H-E-L-L-O, 2019 (11min)An homage to New Orleans this work references popular film like a musical sequence from Close Encounters of the Third Kind as it also limns the musical traditions to the city. In a post-Katrina New Orlean Smith mixes pass and present.Tuan Andrew Nguyễn, The Boat People, 2020 (20 min)This film blends the past and the future and what might emerge from the ruins of a past not yet behind us. The sea becomes a reservoir of the ruin of a human civilization whose history can be reconstructed from its detritus for an as yet unnamed future.Image: Film still from Tuan Andrew Nguyen, The Boat People, 2020.
