The Gaze

Tuesday, July 13 - Thursday, July 22, 2021

“What flows here is non-narrative. There is no story told. Throughout production, we halted our filming many times for moments like these. Moments where… standing in the spaces our ancestors stood, we had the feeling of seeing them, truly seeing them and thus, we sought to capture and share that seeing with you.” – Barry Jenkins

Five different five minute excerpts from THE GAZE, Jenkins’s hourlong non-narrative companion piece to THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, will screen before episodes of the show as well as ahead of all films screening at the theater, through July 22.


  • Running Time 51 minutes
