About the Event: The second night of the Marvels of Media Festival features two captivating screenings: “Flying Lessons” and “Oreo.” Flying Lessons is a dramatic film following two estranged sisters forced together by their mother’s sudden death: Beatrice, an autistic teenager who wants to learn to fly, and Talia, a queer musician with no interest in teaching her. Oreo is a dark-comic, surrealist short film featuring four vignettes: “Black Card,” “Girls,” “Mira,” and “The Other.” Each vignette depicts Black women at various ages and life stages as they experience moments of being on the “outside.”
