The Flaherty Presents: Opacity

Another Decade

26m

Directed by Morgan Quaintance • 2018 • United Kingdom

The dynamic tension explored in the work is between, on the one hand, art-world actors speaking a truth to institutional power and, on the other, lived realities of London’s multiracial citizenry.
