Abstract (en)

Considers Billops's first and third films, Suzanne Suzanne and Finding Christa, works that directly address how family photographs and home movies enshrine ideologies of family. Explores how Billops (and her co-director, James V. Hatch) use and undermine photographs and home movies in their critiques of middle-class respectability and romanticized notions of black maternity.
