This program surveys the majority of Harris' filmography, including his most recent film Speaking in Tongues: Take One, which is the first installment of a planned trilogy. A most noteworthy entry in this survey is Reckless Eyeballing, which is the second film Harris ever made and a masterful collage of sound and image comprising a short history of Black representation in cinema. This film was also restored by Mark Toscano of the Academy Film Archive in Los Angeles. (Vienna Shorts)
