Join student group Cinéseries for an eclectic program of short films exploring themes of Black love, identity, history, and introspection, handpicked by Ohio State students.

The Willow Weeps for Me, curated by Cinéseries member Sarra Negassi, highlights groundbreaking short films that explore the intersections of Black womanhood across several decades. Each film creates an intimate portrait of human connection, including Zeinabu irene Davis’s charming tale of diasporic longing, Crocodile Conspiracy. Bringing together multiple genres, this program invites audiences to inquire and converse on the past, present, and future of Black women. (program approx. 90 mins., digital video)

Join us after the screening for an informal discussion about the program and light refreshments!

About the series

In the words of Cinéseries’ members: Cinéseries is a student-led group that organizes monthly screenings in collaboration with the Wexner Center for the Arts. We aim to offer a space for students and the community to engage with film and expanded cinema from makers of a variety of backgrounds. We aspire to create an environment conducive to critical engagement by inviting filmmakers to showcase work that takes risks, challenges norms, and opens a conversation by devoting to a wide range of artist-centered and independent media.
