U up? / by Disabato, Catie,author.;
"Eve is no typical LA millennial. Yes, she's into her devices and social media, and even makes her living working for an app developer. And yes she's texting-sardonically-all the time. The difference is that most of the time, she's texting--sardonically--to her best friend ... who's dead. And on the one-year anniversary of that friend's death, the remaining member of her trio fails to meet her to mark the occasion. He doesn't text her, either. Worried, Eve launches a search across the dive bars and hilly neighborhoods of LA's east side, while scouring social media for clues and brushing off friends who tell her she's overreacting. And as her search takes her to unexpected places, she starts to question just how much she really knows about her best friends ... or herself. In her long-awaited follow up to The Ghost Network, Catie Disabato delivers a sassy, gripping pop mystery about toxic relationships, and holds a mirror to the ways the phantom selves we create online permeate our emotional lives, and hide our worst traits from everyone ... including ourselves"--

Originally produced by Women Make Movies in 1986.THE PASSION OF REMEMBRANCE, the Sankofa collective's greatly influential first film and a landmark work in British avant-garde film and video, ambitiously explores themes of racism, homophobia, sexism, and generational tensions as embodied in the reality known by a Black British family over the years. The film interweaves two narrative threads—one in which a man and a woman discourse on their own experiences living in the UK, another in which events from three decades in the lives of the Baptiste family are staged—Maureen Blackwood and Isaac Julien tease the accumulated fragments into a spellbinding, heterogeneous mosaic that powerfully evokes the multiplicity of Black experience and identity and critiques the British state’s treatment of its marginalized residents.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
