Seeking Mavis Beacon

Jazmin Jones, USA 2024, 103’
Roleplay Songs from the Hole

In the 1980s, a previously little-known model became an icon of Black pop culture and a symbol of technological progress when her face appeared on the cover of a widely used computer program. This unconventional documentary uses Mavis Beacon's story as a springboard to examine themes of identity, social roles, and the potential dangers posed by the digital age.
