Thrilled to bring Rhythm of Dammam (2024) to the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival in Ithaca!

Join us Thursday, April 9 at Cinemapolis for a special screening—beginning with a powerful live performance by Ithaca College’s West African Drumming and Dance Ensemble, directed by Baruch Whitehead.

This film is deeply personal and politically urgent, exploring the Siddi community in India—an African diasporic lineage rarely seen on screen. Through the story of young Jayaram, the film navigates memory, trauma, and healing, carried by the visceral force of Dammam rhythms.

Would love to see friends, colleagues, and the Ithaca community there—come experience this journey with us.
