The 9th Annual Baltimore International Black Film Festival

REEL UNITY PAIR: The Shadow Between Us / East River Story

Film(s) To Be Screened

The Shadow Between Us

To address ongoing civil unrest following the death of George Floyd, a Black dancer and a White choreographer embark on a journey to heal the divide.


East River Story

East River Story is a short film about a disgraced Wall Street banker (Desmond) who has arrived at the East River Walk with the intention of killing himself, rather than turn himself in the next morning to go to prison, as arranged by his criminal defense attorney. When he strikes up a conversation with a homeless man (Henry), though, as a way to procrastinate, they spend the night reflecting upon their lives and how the two of them came to end up in the same place. With sunrise only hours away, the two men are forced to face certain truths about themselves that will change their lives forever.
