The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster
Teenaged Vicaria (Laya DeLeon Hayes) is surrounded by death—her mother and brother lost to gun violence, her father finding the need to self-medicate as a result. With a deep intellect and scientific leanings on her side, Vicaria seeks to essentially reanimate her brother, Chris, on the logic that “death is a disease.” This new approach to the Frankenstein story comes from Bomani J. Story, here making his feature debut.
The Webster University Film Series, St. Louis' cinematic alternative since 1979, is a nationally known and recognized year-round film exhibition program. The Midwest's premiere hosting venue for American and foreign features, documentaries, classic and experimental cinema, and national and international artists presenting their work, the Series represents a genuine cinematic alternative in the St. Louis community.
Additionally, the Webster University Film Series has become the location for many national tours of international cinema, often acting as the only such venue in Missouri. The Series is host to speakers and visiting artists who address the pertinent issues in films presented. In an effort to further integrate film with education, the Film Series provides workshops with artists and experts.
