In its seventh year, the annual South Fulton Arts (SFA) Filmer series pairs five Atlanta filmmakers with artists, musicians or creative innovators to produce short documentary portraits. The resulting documentaries will soon be screened at the Plaza and Academy theatres.
This year’s documentaries include: “Beyond the Script” by Dr. Arshley Emile about the Academy Theatre and its history of activism and inclusion; “Say Yes to Destiny” by Jonathan Banks on Alice Lovelace, a poet, organizer and founder of ArtsXchange; “Karla” by Elisee Junior St. Preux about Karla Harris, a jazz vocalist; “Kiara, Portrait of a Printmaker” by Will Feagins about Kiara Gilbert, a printmaker focused on Black queer histories; and “Nzzy’s Ark” by Ethan Payne about Nzzy Nekay, a multidisciplinary artist.
