About the Director
Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich makes work about the private lives and worlds of black women. Her practice is rooted in archival research and field research, which then gets translated through a writing process, and then finally a filmmaking process that includes narrative, documentary and experimental film technique. This means working closely with archives that until recently did not preserve or respect black voices, and thinking about how to represent histories that have been neglected.
