A landmark of independent cinema, "Compensation" is Zeinabu irene Davis’s moving, ambitious portrait of the struggles of Deaf African Americans and the complexities of loving relationships at the bookends of the twentieth century. In extraordinary dual performances, Michelle A. Banks and John Earl Jelks play Malindy and Arthur, a couple in 1910 Chicago, as well as Malaika and Nico, a couple living in the same city almost eighty years later. Their stories are deftly interwoven through the creative use of archival photography, an original score featuring ragtime and African percussion, and an editing style both lyrical and tender. Malindy, an industrious, intelligent dressmaker, falls for Arthur, an illiterate migrant from Mississippi, along the shore of Lake Michigan. On the same beach in the present, Malaika, an inspired and resilient graphic artist, softens before a brash yet endearing children’s librarian, Nico. Each pair faces the obstacles of their time as Black Americans, including structural racism and emerging pandemics. "Compensation" remains a groundbreaking story of inclusion and visibility that bears witness to the social forces and prejudices that stand in the way of love. Join us for a special post-screening Q&A with "Compensation" filmmakers Zeinabu irene Davis and Marc Chéry after the 4 p.m. screening on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Presentation of the film includes Open Captions. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram
