Drylongso (1998)

dir. by Cauleen Smith

A still from the film Drylongso shows a Black woman reclining on a couch, their head resting on their right hand. They are wearing a flower-patterned blouse and look happy.

New 4K restoration! Art student Pica (Toby Smith) is horrified by the rate at which young Black men in her neighborhood are dying—“going extinct,” as she sees it. Setting out to document their lives in Polaroid snapshots, Pica and her friend Tobi (April Barnett) are drawn into a search for an elusive serial killer terrorizing their city. At once a buddy movie, murder mystery, romance, and incisive social commentary, Drylongso stands as a seminal work of American independent filmmaking.
