Monday, October 18, 9:40pm Director Faith Trimel’s dark relationship drama explores the toll mental illness takes on a burgeoning love affair between two beautiful young women. Most films about mental illness center on the person afflicted, but BLACK AURA ON AN ANGEL focuses on the afflicted person’s partner, Angel (played by Trimel). A happy and successful African-American woman, Angel begins a relationship with the deeply disturbed Phaedra (the gorgeous Sherry Richardson). From coffee date to adoring sexual relationship, love blossoms quickly, until Phaedra’s persona slowly swings from unfounded jealousy to explosive bouts of anger. As Phaedra’s behavior tends towards violence, it may be too late for Angel to back out. Screening with VÁMONOS – LET’S GO AWAY, the story of an impossible love between two women from different social backgrounds.
