Join us for our next installment of Afro-Picks, a CCCADI virtual talk series that highlights emerging filmmakers and films set in the communities of the African Diaspora.
Our October installment will feature the film “Junebug.” This film is an exploration of the fierce love between a daughter and father, the complexities of an absence that words can’t touch, the power of music, and the wonderland of memory.
At 28, Junie is a writer, obsessed with capturing the essence of her childhood growing up with her musician father, Davis. Davis, an alcoholic drummer with an infectious charm and an unending tenderness for his daughter is proving difficult to put into words. As Junie struggles to articulate Davis in her writing and to her boyfriend Calvin, she’s transported back in time through her own memories of him.
How do you explain someone impossible to love and impossible not to?
Our host, actor and content creator Derick James Sherrier, Jr. will sit down with filmmaker Winter Dunn to discuss specific scenes from the film and explore the building blocks of her storytelling.
You can revisit this page on October 13 at 7 PM (EST) to view the program. You can also watch via our CCCADI Facebook or Youtube.
