Courtesy of the artist and Women Make Movies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Renowned for its depiction of Black Deaf lives and expansive reimagining of the cinematic form, Zeinabu irene Davis\u2019s exquisite 1999 film stars Michelle Banks, founder of Onyx Theatre Company in New York City, the first Deaf theatre company for actors of color. The film tells the stories of two Black couples\u2014each, a deaf woman and a hearing man\u2014falling in love at the start and end of the 20th century. As both couples draw closer, they must also navigate the intertwined\u2014and enduring\u2014forces of racism, ableism, and economic disparity. Using title cards, photographic montages, and reenactments of early Black silent films, Davis charts a new path for the future of narrative film, one that embodies an ethos of accessibility by embracing the endless aesthetic possibilities of cinema itself.<\/p>\n<p><em>Zeinabu irene Davis, 1999, USA, 95 minutes, ASL, open captions<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This program is part of\u00a0<em>This Set of Actions is a Mirror,<\/em> a multipart program exploring expressions of disability culture and politics in artists\u2019 moving images curated by Liza Sylvestre and Minh Nguyen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RELATED EVENT<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel discussion with Dustin Gibson, Robert McRuer, and Liza Sylvestre, moderated by Minh Nguyen<\/strong><br \/>\nThursday, February 25, 7:00 pm CT<br \/>\nGene Siskel Film Center Virtual Cinema<br \/>\n<em>Live captions and ASL interpretation available.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>RELATED SCREENINGS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Channels of Access<\/strong><br \/>\nFebruary 22\u201328<br \/>\nGene Siskel Film Center Virtual Cinema<br \/>\n<em>Open Captions<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 25\u2013March 3 Gene Siskel Film Center Virtual Cinema Open captions and ASL Zeinabu irene Davis\u2019s celebrated and formally adventurous 1999 film depicts Black Deaf lives at the start and end of the 20th century.
