Long Time Comin'

synopsis

In Long Time Comin', poet/filmmaker Dionne Brand charts the work of two Black queer Canadian artists: folk/jazz singer-songwriter Faith Nolan and multimedia visual artist Grace Channer. Using a combination of interviews and vérité footage of the women at work, Brand showcases their projects, as well as their thoughts on art, race and sexuality. Long Time Comin' speaks to Studio D's mandate to address the stories, lives and art of women who have been historically and structurally marginalized.
