A mythopoetic film exploring the African face of Brazil.

Shot entirely on Super 8mm film, E Minha Cara/That's My Face follows the spiritual journey of a black filmmaker searching for the mythic face of Africa in the Americas. This magical Odyssey moves between the filmmaker's boyhood in the Bronx and the legendary city of Salvador da Bahia, the "African heart and soul of Brazil." Crossing geographical and temporal boundaries, this evocative and compelling film was shot on three continents over the course of thirty years.

"Harris' work has him hitting spots around the world - Brazil, Burkina Faso, Malibu - in order to challenge modern definitions of Africa, African-ness and blackness. It's a visually gorgeous melding of poetry and politics."

-Ernest Hardy, LA Weekly
