On Sunday, the National Gallery of Jamaica (NGJ) will be hosting Continuity: Art + Film, as part of programming for the recently opened exhibition, ‘Continuity’. The film screening will begin at 1:30 p.m. during the NGJ’s regular Sunday opening hours at 12 Ocean Boulevard, Kingston.
Continuity: Art + Film will feature a selection of experimental art films by Jamaican artists Deborah Anzinger, K. Khalfani Ra and Oneika Russell, as well as the documentary film They Call Me Barrington, a film about late Jamaican artist Barrington Watson, by filmmaker Lennie Little-White.
The screenings will be followed by discussion segments moderated by NGJ Acting Assistant Curator, Shawna-Lee Tai, and Chief Curator, O’Neil Lawrence. The panels will feature artists Anzinger, Ra and Russell, along with international creative economy expert and former film commissioner of Jamaica, Renee Robinson.
The NGJ aims to expand viewers’ experience of the ongoing ‘Continuity’ exhibition, with an exploration of the making of Jamaican art films. It is hoped that the audience will be entertained, as well as gain information about the value of Jamaican art films as resources for understanding Jamaican artists and their practice.
