Short Ends presents: Lago Gatún by Kevin Jerome Everson

UWM Union Cinema 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, WI

Lago Gatún, Kevin Jerome Everson’s 2021 feature, is an entrancing journey north through the Panama Canal—a juncture of commerce between two vast oceans. Abstract and spare, the film’s meditative play with light and shadow opens up reflection on the colonial trade histories that lie below the surface. (MoMA)
