Love in the Archive Film Series: Watermelon Woman

Cheryl, a 25-year-old lesbian who works at a video rental store in Philadelphia becomes interested in films from the 1930s and 1940s that feature uncredited Black actresses. After watching a film titled Plantation Memories in which a Black actress is credited only as “The Watermelon Woman”, she decides to make a documentary in which she attempts to uncover the Watermelon Woman’s identity and her own.

This film will be presented by Megan Meadowlark, Associate Director of Visual Arts Programming at ArtsWestchester.
