'Going To Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project' Directors Joe Brewster & Michèle Stephenson
Podcast: IndieWire's Filmmaker ToolkitPublished On: Tue Dec 12 2023
Description: Nikki Giovanni was one of the most prominent poet-activists to come out of the late-60s Black Arts Movement, and, as this film explores, is one of the Godmothers of Afrofuturism and the Afropunk alternative arts scene. But "Going to Mars" is far from your standard issue profile documentary, instead husband-wife co-directors Michèle Stephenson and Joe Brewster use Giovanni's life and writing as a jumping off point for their own formal exploration as they "delved into the soul of a poet."
