nullIt opens this Friday – one of two notable black films making their theatrical debuts (the other being Blue Caprice). 

But if you live in New York City, you can see Andrew Dosunmu’s Mother Of George one day early; but not only that, the writer/director will be present for that screening, in person, for a Q&A following the screening.
The screening will take place at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, this Thursday, at 7pm. 
I suggest you pick up tickets now if you’re interested in attending.

Dir. Andrew Dosunmu. 2013, 106 mins. DCP courtesy of Oscilloscope. With Isaach de Bankolé, Danai Gurira, Tony Okungbowa. Adenike and Avodele are a Nigerian couple living in Brooklyn. Following their joyous wedding celebration, complications arise from their inability to conceive a child, a devastating problem that leads Adenike to make a shocking decision that could either save her family or destroy it. Acclaimed director Andrew Dosumnu (Restless City) captures the nuances of this unique and fascinating culture by creating a beautiful, vibrant, and moving portrait of a couple whose joys and struggles are at once intimate and universal.
