John Mills, contributor to A Century in Captivity: The Life and Trials of Prince Mortimer, an Enslaved Connecticut Man, wrote, directed, and produced Reverence: Reclaiming the Forgotten, which includes the story of Prince Mortimer. It will be screening at the Mystic Film Festival on October 3rd.

A grainy background of purples, browns, and beiges. The cover of "A Century in Captivity: The Life and Trials of Prince Mortimer, an Enslaved Connecticut Man." The cover is cut horizontally by a stark image of a rope—the background is an off-white color with translucent map lines above it. The contributer section reads "Denis R. Caron; foreword by John Mills; introduction by Jesse Nasta." The bottom reads "Revised Edition." Beside it is the logo for the Mystic Film Festival, written in a serif font, and a small, simple image of a whale tail above it. Directly below is the poster for Mills' new film, "Reverence: Reclaiming the Forgotten." It pictures a man standing away from the camera, looking down at the graveyard before him. It is a snowy scene, and the sun is setting from a light blue to a yellow. There is a large tree in the foreground.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Rachel Blau DuPlessis. A feminist, critic, scholar, and poet, her work has been anthologized and featured in some of the foremost journals and publications.
