Grace

Directed by Natalie Jasmine Harris2024USA13 mins

Sixteen-year-old Grace (Jordan Rayanna Wells, The CW’s All American: Homecoming) prepares for her baptism in the rural 1950s South. When she learns she must repent before the ritual, Grace contemplates her romantic feelings toward her best friend Louise. Exquisitely filmed on 16mm, Grace explores the interiority of a Black queer girlhood over the course of a fleeting summer in the Black American South. Executive produced by Academy Award-nominated actor (and San Francisco native) Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and playwright/actor/educator Fanshen Cox, Grace celebrated its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

'Grace' is screening in:

Across Time & Space: Black Queer Stories

This short film block encompasses the vastness of the Black diasporic experience transcending time and space, inspired by poet Nikki Giovanni’s proclamation, “the trip to Mars can only be understood through Black Americans.”
