The film screening is part of “In Ecstasy – Micro Cinema,” a cinematic salon exploring Black erotica and Black femme sexual performance on screen. Organized by Kennedi Carter and Marcella Camara, “In Ecstasy – Micro Cinema” provides a moving archive surrounding Black eroticism, and a space for both entertainment and conversation surrounding these topics.
