Carrie Mae Weems's film Coming Up for Air (2003–04) features a series of unrelated yet linked vignettes that examine human relationships, including those between black men and white women in antebellum New Orleans, quarreling sisters hoping for reconciliation, a child and an adored father, and young idealistic lovers (suggestive of Winnie and Nelson Mandela) before a loss of innocence.

Screenings take place in the New Media Theater, located on the lower level in the Sackler Center for Arts Education. There are two screenings: 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

DVD, running time: 52:29 minutes

Assistant producer: Pamela Vander Zwan
