Seeking Mavis Beacon (15)
Captioned
Hey Siri, have you heard of Mavis Beacon? Jazmin Jones’ debut feature follows two chronically online investigators as they search for the Black woman behind the iconic 80s typing game.
“The solution would be for everybody to tell their version of the story.”
More in tune with a group chat than a documentary, this vivid journey takes us through a digital wormhole to adventurously confront the intersections of big tech, identity, artificial intelligence, and community. A meditation on Black representation online, the ghostly nature of digital avatars, and the surprisingly spiritual dimensions of online community.
