SPECIAL PROGRAM “COLOUR OF THE MOOD”

When I Write It (0+)

USA, 2020, colour, 15 min.
Directors: Shannon St. Aubin, Nico Opper
During the last days of summer before college, two Oakland teens explore what it means to be young Black artists in their rapidly gentrifying city. A special feeling of eavesdropping permeates this sun-soaked tour of neighborhood sights and sounds, as they both realize they're on the cusp of personal and community change.
