An amazing visit from COMPENSATION director Zeinabu Irene Davis - the 4K rejuvenation will be in theaters next year!

Future screenings in Chicago and elsewhere coming soon!

Delighted that Zeinabu irene Davis's film Compensation, at festivals in 1999-2000 but unreleased, has been named to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry. Great films leap ahead into the future but should be seen in their own time, too; the industry failed this one.
