Description
After an abrupt layoff, Z embarks on a trip across the Midwestern United States in search of a friend who has seemingly disappeared off the grid. Traveling with her two closest friends, these three queer black femmes find their priorities tested as shapeshifting threats in each city expose (inter)personal and ideological fractures.
Director Shatara Michelle Ford is expected for a Q&A following the screening in dialogue with local filmmaker and poet, Dasha Kelly.
This film is presented as part of our Cinematic Sisterhood series presented by Tracey B. Thomas.

The Pitch
While the often dreamlike nature of some of Ford’s most thrilling sequences might hint at a more open-ended conclusion, what proves to be truly exciting about the film and Ford’s approach to it is the answers it does provide.
