A String of Pearls
A documentary showing the transformation of masculinity and fatherhood in the shadow of unemployment, whiskey and racism. Directors look at black men in old photographs and home movies. They supplement the historical footage using contemporary interviews with fathers, uncles, sons, grandchildren and cousins.
Camille Billops, James Hatch
A New York filmmaking duo; she – a ceramic artist, sculptor, painter, and he – a historian of African American theatre, documentary filmmaker and creator of an extensive archive of African American art. Their films focus on the personal and social problems of black women and men from the Camille Billops family circle and the artistic community that coalesced in the couple's New York apartment. Their Finding Christa received the Grand Jury Prize at the 1992 Sundance Festival.
