THROUGH THE NIGHT is an intimate cinema verité portrait of three working mothers whose lives all intersect at a 24-hour daycare center: a mother working the overnight shift as an essential worker at a hospital; another holding down three jobs just to support her family; and a woman who for over two decades has cared for the children of parents with nowhere else to turn.

Hear from director Loira Limbal, Deloris “Nunu” Hogan and Patrick “Pop Pop” Hogan, featured in the film. THROUGH THE NIGHT will stream for two days starting March 14th, leading up to the talk with the director and others on Tuesday, March 16th at 6:30 PM. Those who RSVP will get a link to view the film and to the Zoom talk on the 16th. Spaces limited to 100 guests.

From the March on Washington in August 1963 until his assassination in April 1968, King was a subject of almost obsessive interest to the bureau and its director, J. Edgar Hoover, who saw King as a threat to the nation. See the film, in the running for an Oscar, and hear from this prolific and masterful director on the making of this film as he joins in conversation with noted filmmaker Ayoka Chenzira.

RSVP and receive a timed link to view the film at 6 PM Monday, March 29th - and a zoom link to hear from director Sam Pollard with filmmaker Ayoka Chenzira at 7:50 PM right afterwards. Limited availability!

"The conception and realization of MAKE-OUT is economical and provocative. The voice-over commentary works in effective counterpoint to the visuals, and undermines the realistically portrayed encounter that we might otherwise think normal... MAKE-OUT can be highly effective within a screening context where the girl's thoughts in the film can be completed and studied…" - Bill Nichols, Cineaste
