Three Young Men on a Bench 2018

Directed by Dan Guthrie

A reframing of an old photograph of three men posing effortlessly in their Sunday best from the artist’s family album. At once a gentle account of family history, of lived experience, of intergenerational dialogue and of connection to the landscapes of one’s youth, the film contemplates the Black diasporic experience, and the construction and manifestations of Black masculinity in the context of rural South West England in the 20th century and now.
