  4. Late Summer

    Ernie Park / Narrative / USA / 2012 / 57 mins
    If Yasujiro Ozu could set a film in the Black South, it might look a lot like Late Summer. Ernie Park not only riffs on Ozu’s tales of family love and social belonging, he crafts a kindred poetic language, one born little by little, over time …in Nashville. With short by video-essayist Kogonada + conversation with Park and Kogonada.
