​Sites of Memory and Recovery, A Black San Francisco Story in Dance (10 mins)

​Sites of Memory and Recovery, A Black San Francisco Story in Dance, is a dance film short that explores the history and lived experience (past, present, and future) of the still present, but diminishing community of Black San Franciscans. It features improvisational dance performance and narrative of filmmaker Dunn-Salahuddin, Eyla Josie Moore (Dancer), and Jarrel Philips (Educator/Dancer).”
