After Sherman, dir. Jon-Sesrie Goff, USA 2022, 92 min., English with English subtitles
Home is a complicated notion for Goff, as it is for many African Americans. How do you reconcile the fact that country you are born in is not the one from which your ancestors originated? And for Goff, home is a deeply unique place, having grown up in a small Gullah Geechee community, best known in popular culture from Julie Dash’s 1991 drama Daughters of the Dust.
Centred around a conversation between the director and his Reverend father, After Sherman is an expansive portrait of African Americans searching to preserve their sense of identity, grapple with a collective past and move beyond the tragedy of the Charleston shooting. Shot through with Goff’s unique and experimental style, this is also a film about community, solidarity and joy.
