Devotion
Garrett Bradley works across narrative, documentary, and experimental modes of filmmaking to address themes such as race, class, familial relationships, social justice, and cultural histories in the United States. Her collaborative and research-based approach to filmmaking is often inspired by the real-life stories of her protagonists. This book explores Bradley's work through the lens of devotion and features conversations with the artist and contributions from the likes of Ashley Clark, Arthur Jafa, Joy James, Tyler Mitchell, Kevin Quashie, and Claudia Rankine. This is the first volume in a new series of readers copublished with Lisson Gallery entitled Re:, which will respond to a number of its artists and themes past and present. Adopting archival material alongside newly shot footage, Bradley's films exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future, not only disrupting our perception of time, but also breaking down our preconceived ideas about objectivity, perspective, and truth-telling. These narratives unfold naturally in both feature-length and short form, revealing a multitude of individual and collective stories. The social, economic, and racial politics of everyday life--its joys, pleasures, and pains--are lyrically and intimately rendered on screen.

Contemporary Black Women Filmmakers and the Art of Resistance
Christina N. Baker's Contemporary Black Women Filmmakers and
the Art of Resistance is the first book-length analysis of
representations of Black femaleness in the feature films of Black
women filmmakers. These filmmakers resist dominant ideologies about
Black womanhood, deliberately and creatively reconstructing
meanings of Blackness that draw from their personal experiences and
create new symbolic meaning of Black femaleness within mainstream
culture. Addressing social issues such as the exploitation of Black
women in the entertainment industry, the impact of mass
incarceration on Black women, political activism, and violence,
these films also engage with personal issues as complex as love,
motherhood, and sexual identity. Baker argues that their
counter-hegemonic representations have the potential to transform
the narratives surrounding Black femaleness. At the intersection of
Black feminism and womanism, Baker develops a \"womanist artistic
standpoint\" theory, drawing from the work of Alice Walker, Patricia
Hill Collins, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and Kimberlé Crenshaw.
Analyzing the cultural texts of filmmakers such as Ava DuVernay,
Tanya Hamilton, Kasi Lemmons, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Dee
Rees-and including interviews she conducted with three of the
filmmakers-Baker emphasizes the importance of applying an
intersectional perspective that centers on the shared experiences
of Black women and the role of film as a form of artistic
expression and a tool of social resistance.
