Film screening of "Swimmin' Lesson" and "B-Love" with post film Q & A with the filmmaker, Shahari Moore
Swimmin' Lesson
Adapted in 2010, Swimmin’ Lesson uses poetic lyricism and powerful imagery to delve into one man’s memories of life before Hurricane Katrina. With a powerful performance by Kelvin Roston, Jr. portraying a young father tormented by tragedy and music composed by Yosef Ben Israel, Swimmin Lesson evokes a range of emotions and grapples to humanize an inhumane event.
B’ Love
Set in Chicago, "B Love" is a love story between Julius, a sixth grade teacher, played by Corey Hendrix, Victoria, a gorgeous career woman, played by Brely Evans, and Bernard a self assured bloke from Britain, played by Eamonn Walker. Upon their first encounter Bernard notices Victoria for her color, scent and shape. To him, she is the biggest, prettiest flower that he’s ever laid eyes upon. Unbeknownst to Victoria, Bernard is in pursuit of her attention as he relentlessly attempts to thwart her budding relationship with Julius.
