An absorbing portrait of a groundbreaking Black woman filmmaker.
Kathleen Collins (1942-88) was a visionary and influential Black
filmmaker. Beginning with her short film The Cruz Brothers and Miss
Malloy and her feature film Losing Ground, Collins explored new
dimensions of what narrative film could and should do. However, her
achievements in filmmaking were part of a greater life project. In
this critically imaginative study of Collins, L.H. Stallings
narrates how Collins, as a Black woman writer and filmmaker, sought
to change the definition of life and living. The Afterlives of
Kathleen Collins: A Black Woman Filmmaker's Search for New Life
explores the global significance and futurist implications of
filmmaker and writer Kathleen Collins. In addition to her two
films, Stallings examines the broad and expansive and varying forms
of writing produced by Collins during her short life time. The
Afterlives of Kathleen Collins showcases how Collins used
filmmaking, writing, and teaching to assert herself as a
poly-creative dedicated to asking and answering difficult
philosophical questions about human being and living. Interrogating
the ideological foundation of life-writing and cinematic
life-writing as they intersect with race and gender, Stallings
intervenes on the delimited concepts of life and Black being that
impeded wider access, distribution, and production of Collins's
personal, cinematic, literary, and theatrical works. The Afterlives
of Kathleen Collins definitively emphasizes the evolution of film
and film studies that Collins makes possible for current and future
generations of filmmakers.
