Stillend

Every day humanity makes a decision between continued existence and death by suicide. The existential choice of, "Should I have a cup of coffee or should I kill myself?" serves as the driving query for filmmaker Lee Eubanks to analyze throughout the avant garde film 'Stillend'. 'Stillend' reflects Eubanks' continued interest in exploring philosophical concepts and issues through film, consistently moving between both fiction and documentary footage shot in Nairobi, Kenya. It is additionally a comment on the filmmaker's ability or inability to communicate an argument truthfully using cinematic language.

Directed by Lee Eubanks, Stillend leans on a strong ensemble — James Feagin, Nowell Zimmerman, Rachael Trinidad — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2022.
