With the release of Daughters of the Dust in 1991, Julie Dash was the first female African-American director to receive theatrical distribution across the USA. Her film shows three generations of Gullah-women on the island Saint Helena, off the coast of South Carolina in the early 1900s. With cinematography and production design by artists Arthur Jafa and Kerry James Marshall, respectively, the film has created a strong legacy.
This is our third poster for quality film distributor NonStop Entertainment in a series of films by female directors. Dapifer (semibold and black) by Joshua Darden is used throughout.
