in love, in memory

The 2020 film grant will support "in love, in memory." In the wake of her son's murder, Shalon Buskirk assembles intimate memories and intergenerational stories to reframe her loss within her city's haunting legacy of displacement. This meditative portrait resists the erosive forces of time and violence by keeping her son Parris' life ever-present.

The 2021 Community Voices grant will support "in love, in memory" as the film reframes local narratives about gun violence and urban renewal in Allentown, Pennsylvania by centering the stories, voices, and leadership of Black women.
