520 |a A rediscovered treasure of 1990s DIY filmmaking, Cauleen Smith's Drylongso embeds an incisive look at racial injustice within a lovingly handmade buddy movie/murder mystery/romance. Alarmed by the rate at which the young Black men around her are dying, brash Oakland art student Pica attempts to preserve their existence in Polaroid snapshots, along the way forging a friendship with a woman in an abusive relationship and experiencing love, heartbreak, and the everyday threat of violence. Capturing the vibrant community spirit of Oakland in the nineties, Smith crafts both a rare cinematic celebration of Black female creativity and a moving elegy for a generation of lost African American men. 
500 |a Special edition features: new 4K digital restoration, approved by director Cauleen Smith, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack; new conversation between Smith and film scholar Michael B. Gillespie; short films by Smith, including Chronicles of a lying spirit by Kelly Gabron, Songs for Earth & folk, Lessons in semaphore, Egungun (Ancestor can't find me), Remote viewing, and Suffolk, with a new introduction by Smith; trailer; PLUS: an essay by film scholar Yasmina Price--Container.
