5th Avenue Cinema Presents ...
Black Mother
Dir. Khalik Allah (2018); US; English; 77 min
A poem of Jamaica and its people.
Black Mother unfolds with the cadence of verse, dense and incantatory, guiding the viewer through Jamaica’s history and present. With a rhythm that is both chaotic and precise, director Khalik Allah sets images against voices that only sometimes align, so what we hear and what we see remain in deliberate flux. Street portraits, home movies, fragments of landscape, a pregnancy divided into trimesters; all fragments that carry memory, religion, pride, and grief.
