Darius (Larenz Tate), an aspiring writer, and Nina (Nia Long), an aspiring photographer, share an instant connection after a chance meeting at a Chicago club. The two bond over music, photography and poetry, and eventually begin a torrid romance.
However, when Nina decides to move to New York and mend her relationship with her ex-fiancé, Marvin (Khalil Kain), it leaves Darius heartbroken, and the couple's future in jeopardy.
25 years since its release, discover the debut feature of writer-director Theodore Witcher: Love Jones is an eloquent, elegant ensemble drama, both frankly romantic and uniquely intelligent.
This special screening will be introduced by poet Be Manzini.
