Sanguine (2024)
In the film “Sanguine”, the divine and anima in all things is a strong undertone. Nature is very present: the ocean, flowers, trees, the heat of the sun and that vibrant red color is felt. The color also evokes the notion of family. The figures that inhabit the film are Johnson, his son Julius, and his father Jimmie. Through these generations Johnson allows you to see across time, to feel time and the cycle of life.

Black and Blue
On the surface, Black and Blue appears to be a “day in life” of a protagonist, played by Johnson. It begins with him waking up in bed and getting ready in the bathroom. Filmed in his home and featuring his family, Black and Blue takes its title from the Fats Waller jazz standard (popularized by Louis Armstrong), which can be heard in the video (played on the piano by Johnson’s son). The film is also connected to Johnson’s work and artistic practice, showing interspersed clips of his own as well as artworks by other Black artists (like Deana Lawson), books ( like Roy deCarava), and traditional African masks in his home.
