The Paradox of Expectation .it s the idea that wanting to rid yourself of expectations is a paradox - literally the expectation of no expectation. In these six films from emerging Black filmmakers, what the protagonists experience as the world they woke up to is not the one from which they re now appearing. Are they lying to themselves about who they are, or is the truth just not what they expect, but what they deserve? - Curtis Caesar John, The Luminal Theater, curator.
