Downtown Loft with Skylights

In this late work (made with Azazel Jacobs’s participation), Ken Jacobs returns to an earlier (and frequent) subject, the bric-a-brac-laden loft in which he and Flo lived, and from it he derives a lacunar, fragmented, sculptural reenvisioning of on-screen (and domestic) space. Made in 2024, world premiere at Film at Lincoln Center on April 20, 2026.

Nothing Personal

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.

Tongues Untied

Marlon Riggs, with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act. The film intercuts footage of Hemphill reciting his poetry, Riggs telling the story of his growing up, scenes of men in social intercourse and dance, and various comic riffs, including a visit to the "Institute of Snap!thology," where men take lessons in how to snap their fingers: the sling snap, the point snap, the diva snap.
