EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS
About the Film
Drama | 117 MIN | US
In 2024, Titus Kaphar made his directorial debut with the film EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS, featuring André Holland as Tarrell Rodin, a painter grappling with childhood trauma and the return of his estranged father. Written and directed by Kaphar and inspired by his own life experiences, the movie builds on the 2023 Exhibiting Forgiveness gallery presentation at Gagosian Beverly Hills, where a series of deeply personal paintings depicting figures, portraits, neighborhood houses, and personal artifacts were presented. These works precede the film and draw from Kaphar’s personal, emotional, and psychological well. By blending traditional oil painting techniques with unconventional mediums, Kaphar provokes conversations about family, community, and memory.
