Our IN-PERSON screening of Shatara⁣
 Michelle Ford's debut feature TEST PATTERN is THIS FRIDAY, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. ONLY. ⁣
⁣
TEST PATTERN follows a couple whose relationship is tested after the woman, ⁣
who is Black, is sexually assaulted, and her boyfriend, who is white, ⁣
drives her from hospital to hospital in search of a rape kit.⁣
⁣
Set against the backdrop of current discussions of inequitable health care and policing, the #MeToo⁣
 movement, and race in America, the film exposes the systemic factors ⁣
and social conditioning women face when navigating the American ⁣
patriarchy while exploring institutional racism from a Black female ⁣
point of view.⁣
⁣
"...a perceptive and often quite painful ⁣
examination of sexual assault, relationship dynamics, racial divides, ⁣
and the corrosive power of violence, the writer and director mines a ⁣
dizzying amount of topical issues...[the film] doesn’t push its biggest ⁣
ideas, instead laying them out for both Renesha and the audience to ⁣
decide for themselves" — IndieWire⁣
⁣
Masks are mandatory and and social distancing is in effect. ⁣
Contactless Concessions will be available for purchase. Seating is ⁣
limited, we recommend that you purchase online via the link in our bio. #48201 #Midtown #CinemaDetroit #womenfilmmakers #DirectedByWomen #Detroit #blackfilmmakers #SupportYourLocalIndieTheater #
