Losing Ground

Sunday, Jun. 28, 2015

05:00 PM – 06:30 PM
US/Central

A young philosophy professor (Seret Scott) and her painter husband (Bill Gunn) are at personal and professional crossroads.When they leave New York City for a summer in the country, they experience a reawakening, both together and separately.

This 1982 film by Kathleen Collins is one of the first independent features written and directed by a black woman. Twenty-five years after her death, Collins's daughter, Nina, rescued the original negative and created a new digital master of her mother’s film. Losing Ground now looks and sounds as fresh, bracing, and complex as it did when it was first released.
