If Daughters of the Dust seems otherworldly, that's only because American cinema, independent and otherwise, has paid too little attention to others' worlds. // Bumped this up half a star after sitting with it longer and then writing about it: www.larsenonfilm.com/daughters-of-the-dust
“I am the silence you can’t understand. I am the utterance of my name.” Hey did y’all know no films directed by Black women were theatrically released within the US until Julie Dash’s 1991 Daughters of the Dust? Because I sure as hell didn’t.I wanted to be more poetic in my write up for Dash’s film but I’d rather instead highlight the poetic flow of her work over showcasing my own. Daughters of the Dust has a tranquil lull to it that feels so peaceful. A complete abandonment of Westernized narrative structure means that in some ways the film is more challenging than most. The joy of a watch like Daughters of the Dust is rooted in its full embodiment of Black women’s stories and their prioritization on screen. The film covers a large expanse of some truly crucial discussions in regards to culture and colonization but discussing those tooics through the narration of an unborn child shines a lovely sense of hope across the entire situation. There’s so much love poured into the production of the film and it shows in tenfold. I was engrossed from start to finish! Watch 3/29 of my Black Cinema Challenge
A spell cast from golden light, incredible costumes, euphoric Gullah Creole, and pure dream structure storytelling.The poem of a family living on St. Simons Island, Georgia, where in 1803 a large group of captive Igbo people took control of the ship that was transporting them and committed mass suicide rather than live as slaves. Now, nearly 100 years later, the islanders are in transition. Entering into a new migration phase, heading to the mainland, struggling with the changing times and the fading of old faiths.The generational idea that a person is larger than the self - that a person is all of their people that came before them - must be maintained, even as the family scatters, seeds to the wind.Told by an unborn child.Movie bliss.“We are two people in one body. The last of the old and the first of the new.” - Nana Peazant
In 1902 besluit een Gullah-familie op de Sea Islands voor de kust van South Carolina of ze hun voorouderlijk huis zullen verlaten voor het Amerikaanse vasteland.
Het werd geregisseerd door Julie Dash in 1991 en markeerde een mijlpaal als de eerste speelfilm die door een zwarte vrouw in de Verenigde Staten werd geregisseerd.
De film ontving onderscheidingen op het Sundance Film Festival en werd later geselecteerd voor behoud in het United States National Film Registry.
