WRIF 2023: Post-Screening Panel Discussion - Rewind & Play
This immersive Thelonious Monk Portrait shares unseen archival footage that documents Monk's run-in with the Paris Media in the late 60s. The footage highlights the slippery operations of the white gaze and systemic discrimination while underscoring Thelonious Monk's artistic brilliance, resilience, and composure in the face of disrespect and intolerance.
WRIF panel conversation moderated by Tamara Waraschinski with Taylor Ho Bynum, Director of the Coast Jazz Orchestra at Dartmouth; Alisa Swindell, HOOD Curator of Photography; Lechelle Gray, Associate at the Creative Discourse Group; and filmmaker and JAM producer Jordyn Fitch (Dartmouth '20). This panel will unpack issues of the cinematic gaze and power unearthed in Gomis' unusual documentary style and contemplate the necessity of cultivating resilience in the face of adversity.
