If you’re in search of a quiet, yet immersive escape from your family, office parties or just the vapid, consumerist bustle of holiday season in general, Ybor City’s resident microcinema hosts three consecutive screenings of a poignant and cathartic film that is described by Rotten Tomatoes as an “beautifully elegant exploration of grief and longing.”

The debut film from award-winning poet, photographer and filmmaker Raven Jackson, “All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt” follows the life of a Mississippi woman (Charleen McClure) through the simple, yet monumental stages of her life.

A24, the uber-popular entertainment company that’s distributing this film, describes the newly-released work as “a beautiful ode to the generations of people and places that shape us,” and relates it to 2017’s Oscar-winning “Moonlight.”

And since “salt” is a metaphor for tears—both out of sorry and joy—you may expect to shed some while watching this hour and 37-minute film.

Tickets to “All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt” at Ybor City's Screen Door microcinema at 1624 E 7th Ave #228 run for $8 each.
