"Mammy’s Money" by Ghislaine Jean Block 3: Reel Hilarious
Starts at 7:30 PM

In just five visually rich and thought-provoking minutes, Mammy’s Money takes you on a surreal and satirical ride through power, fate, and fortune. Directed by local Austin filmmaker and animator Ghislaine Jean, this uniquely styled stop-motion short follows Mammy as she receives an eerie message about the wealth that awaits her; setting off a journey filled with layered symbolism, playful jabs at power dynamics, and reflections rooted in cultural memory.

Equal parts humorous and haunting, this film showcases a distinct Black creative voice through striking visuals and storytelling. Ghislaine Jean will be in attendance for a live Q&A following the screening to share insights into her process and inspiration.

Catch Mammy’s Money on August 16th at Hyperreal Film Club during Block 3: Reel Hilarious.
