Set in the Blackjack neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, during the early nineties, the film follows Heru as he arrives at the family home of his sometime-girlfriend, Khet. Based on the Isis/Osiris story from Egyptian mythology, Blackjack invokes humor and tragedy to explore the nature of identity and family – both the family into which we are born and the family we choose.
Everyone who registers will receive the link to view the screening one day prior to the screening.
The live screening will be available only at 7:00 pm PT on Tuesday, August 16. Content Advisory: Blackjack is recommended for viewers age 16 and older. |
