Dreams of Passion
Widely recognized for featuring one of the earliest known onscreen kisses between two Black women, Dreams of Passion is an exploration of desire set in a dance studio that marked a critical moment from Bay Area filmmaker Aarin Burch — presented in a new 4K restoration. Featuring contemporary dancers Matima Hadi and Debra Floyd as well as original music by multi-instrumentalist Vicki Randle, it challenged norms of representation in experimental film and opened doors for queer Black visibility in cinema.
