Somewhere There With Imani Dennison
Dennison’s return to the film festival circuit follows 2023’s film Bone Black: Midwives vs. The South, which depicted southern Black birth workers and doulas. In addition to her work in film, the Louisville artist is the lead curator of Black Science Fiction, an experimental collective that hosts spaces dedicated to preserving Black imagination across mediums and disciplines. All of these points of creation inform The People Could Fly, which takes its name from the book of Black folklore by Virginia Hamilton.
