In this episode, I sit down with my friends from the Hard Light Cinema crew, Lewis Peterson and Kyle Mayo-Blake, to talk about two landmark works of the L.A. Rebellion: Charles Burnett’s Killer of Sheep and Zeinabu Irene Davis’ Compensation. We dig into the visceral and poetic realism of Burnett’s vision, the radical tenderness of Davis’ storytelling, and how the L.A. Rebellion reimagines Black life beyond spectacle and stereotype.

This conversation is in celebration of our upcoming co-presented double feature on July 20th at Studio Two Three, where both films will screen back-to-back.
