Featured Film: Let Light Perpetual (2023)

By Micah and Whitney Stansell

Written by John Harkey

Musical Score by Blake Williams

About the Film:

“An ode to Atlanta’s historic Old 4th Ward, Let Light Perpetual commemorates the neighborhood's history while contemplating the toll of progress. The story weaves through the personal and collective memories of a community that has witnessed both struggle and resilience. The film follows three children—a brother, sister, and friend—navigating the complex realities of a single day. As they face joy, love, humor, beauty, as well as danger, loss, and uncertainty, the film explores the threshold of childhood. It is a dreamlike journey—capturing the passage of grief and fear as a celebration of moving forward.”

—Micah and Whitney Stansell

Micah and Whitney Stansell

Micah and Whitney Stansell, husband and wife and frequent collaborators, live and work in College Park, GA. Their body of work ranges from fibers, sculpture, painting and drawing, to single and multi-channel film and video works, and installations. The Stansells’ work often explores ideas of family history, narrative traditions, and binary relationships that pull from contemporary issues influenced and informed by environment and location. Much of their interest in narrative stems from the rich Southern tradition of storytelling.
