The homecoming Baltimore premiere of ‘LOOK BACK AT IT,’ a forty-something single mother who gets her groove back with a little assistance from her teenage daughter, starring Baltimore natives Angel Laketa Moore and Natalie Carter. Written, directed and produced by Black women, filmed in Baltimore by some of the city’s finest artists in the heart of the city, Felicia Pride’s latest award-winning short is a love letter to the city that raised her and the women who dream, suffer and love hard. The screening will be followed by a talkback with the crew.
Black Femme Supremacy Film Festival’s curated “Defining Baltimore” film screening block will showcase Darren Mallet and Shannon Shird’s ‘Bodymore,’ Uni Q Mical’s ‘769 W. Saratoga’ and an encore presentation of Felicia Pride’s Look Back At It, musing on what life is like for the Black femme in Baltimore.
