Abstract
A Q&A with filmmaker Jon-Sesrie Goff about his documentary "After Sherman". About the film: Returning to the coastal South Carolina land that his family purchased after Emancipation, filmmaker Jon-Sesrie Goff desired to explore his Gullah/Geechee roots, a journey that transformed into a poetic investigation of Black inheritance, trauma, and generational wisdom amid the violent tensions that define America’s collective history. Jon-Sesrie Goff is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and arts administrator. His work, including his documentary film After Sherman, includes extensive research, visual documentation, and oral history interviews in the coastal American South on the legacy of Black landownership and Gullah/Geechee heritage preservation.
