Suzan-Lori Parks at an event for Native Son (2019)

The "mindFLUX" teaser video provides a preview of the film's content and style. Richard Foreman and his groundbreaking experimental art are mirrored by fast paced cuts and the exciting cultural backdrop of late '60s and '70s from which many prominent artists interviewed for the film emerged. The film will build on the teaser's presentation with animation, advance motion graphics and integrated media.
