“Inner Lives, Outer Frames” is the third program in New York Stories on Screen, the fourth season of Black on Screen, guest-curated by Alfreda’s Cinema.

Losing Ground (1982) directed by the late filmmaker and writer Kathleen Collins, offers a radical vision of Black intellectual and emotional life with layered interior storytelling. The film follows Sara (Seret Scott), a philosophy professor navigating love, intellect, and creative awakening during a summer upstate.

The program opens with Madeleine Hunt Ehrlich's short film Cleopatra at the Mall (2024) that drifts through contemporary spaces of spectacle and consumption, reimagining mythic power within the everyday landscape of the shopping mall.
