KEVIN JEROME EVERSON
Kevin Jerome Everson will be honored in this 41st edition of Cinéma du réel. 7 feature films, 2 short-film programs and an installation will be presented to illustrate the work of this prolific artist who combines scripted and documentary elements to examine certain conditions -- physical, natural, socio-economic in the daily lives of African-Americans. His films offer a rich image book of people and communities often marginalized in the mainstream history of the United States and almost absent from cinema screens.
