Ephraim Asili: THE INHERITANCE
@ Block Museum of Art

Opening Saturday, October 2nd, at 1 PM
The Inheritance
Ephraim Asili, 2020, 100 min, DCP Digital
New York-based filmmaker Ephraim Asili follows upon a series of celebrated experimental short films with this inventive and idiosyncratic debut feature. Drawing on Asili’s experiences as a young activist, The Inheritance depicts an intergenerational group of Black radicals embarking on an experiment in communal living in West Philadelphia. The film wittily explores different approaches to political education, from poetry readings to dinner-table debates, placing special emphasis on the catalytic energy of Black material culture like books and records. The Inheritance paints a warm, boldly stylized, but clear-eyed picture of the challenges of collectivity–one that rewards seeing on the big screen.
