VSW will host Crystal Z Campbell and a screening of her experimental short film, Go-Rilla Means War (Crystal Z Campbell, 2017, 20 min.)

Featuring 35mm footage salvaged from a now demolished black civil rights theater in Brooklyn, New York, Go-Rilla Means War is an experimental short that merges fact and fiction. The film is a relic of gentrification and highlights the complex intersections of development, cultural preservation, and erasure in the form of an intricately spoken parable and celluloid frames weathered by decades of urban neglect.
