Shot in 35mm film, each scene represents a snapshot of the life of Mackenzie, better known as Mack, among her friends and family. She is depicted as a child in 1970, learning how to fish with her father, as a teenager, flirting with her best friend-turned-crush, and being cradled as a baby by her mother.
The film moves freely in time, reveling in the beauty of nature and the minutiae of human connection. Showing symbols such as a pair of intertwined hands, a slow, swaying dance, and a lingering hug. Watch its characters contend with love, loss, grief, joy, and the unexpected moments shaping a life.

African Modernism in America features nearly 80 dynamic and vivid works of art created in Africa during the 1950s and ‘60s. Co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and Fisk University Galleries, the exhibition explores the relationships formed between African artists and American patrons, artists, and cultural organizations amid the interlocking histories of civil rights, decolonization, and the Cold War. Many of the paintings, sculptures, and works on paper in the show were drawn from Fisk’s remarkable collection of gifts from the Harmon Foundation. Following World War II, this foundation, along with other institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Fisk University, and other historically Black colleges and universities, supported and exhibited the work of Black artists, including the important modern African artists Ben Enwonwu (Nigeria), Ibrahim El-Salahi (Sudan), and Skunder Boghossian (Ethiopia). Showing African art in the United States rooted it in the present and encouraged American audiences to engage with African artists as contemporaries. The inventive nature of the works in this exhibition challenges the assumptions of the time about African art being isolated to a “primitive past.” Some pieces took inspiration from early Christian art, West African sculpture, and Nigerian literature, while others reflect the influences of American jazz and modern European art.
