SUMMARY:Tales of Summer - Losing Ground
DESCRIPTION:LOSING GROUND\nKathleen Collins\, 1982\, 86 minutes\nwith Seret Scott\, Bill Gunn\, Duane Jones \nCo-Presented with the Bronx Independent Cinema Center \n  \n  \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) in partnership with the City Council and the office of NY City Councilperson Shaun Abreu. \nIntroduced by Nina Collins\, daughter of the Director \n \nNina Collins is a writer and entrepreneur. She had a twenty-year career in book publishing as an agent and a scout\, published a book in 2018 called What Would Virginia Woolf Do? and manages the estate of her late mother\, the filmmaker and writer Kathleen Collins. She is currently the board chair of The Brooklyn Public Library and also serves on the board of the publishing house Spiegel & Grau. She lives in Brooklyn. \n  \nAbout the film: \nKathleen Collins’s second film tells the story of two remarkable people\, married and hurtling toward a crossroads in their lives: Sara Rogers\, a Black professor of philosophy\, is embarking on an intellectual quest just as her painter husband\, Victor\, sets off on an exploration of joy. Victor decides to rent a country house away from the city\, but the couple’s summer idyll becomes complicated by his involvement with a younger model. One of the very first fictional features by an African American woman – restored in 2015 by the filmmaker’s daughter\, Nina Collins – Losing Ground remains a stunning and powerful work of art for being a funny\, brilliant\, and personal member of indie cinema canon.   \nIn the New York Times\, Filmmaker Ira Sachs calls Losing Ground “a revelation.” The characters are “so human and fascinating and extremely modern\,” he says\, adding that he loves a movie that “exists in some very complete version of the local.” \nTICKETS: \n$12/adult\n$10/seniors & students\n$2 discount with Community partner code \nBUY TICKETS HERE
