Filmmaker Kevin Jerome Everson
TALK + SCREENING WITH FILMMAKER KEVIN JEROME EVERSONWexner Center for the Arts Film/Video Theater With a sense of place and historical research, Ohio-born Kevin Jerome Everson makes films that combine scripted and documentary moments with rich elements of formalism. His subject matter is the gestures or tasks caused by certain conditions in the lives of working-class African Americans and other people of African descent. Instead of standard realism, he favors a strategy that abstracts everyday actions and statements into theatrical gestures, in which archival footage is re-edited or re-staged, real people perform fictional scenarios based on their own lives, and historical observations intermesh with contemporary narratives.
