“You can’t change the past, you just have to live in the present.” Oscope Labs has unveiled an official trailer for an indie documentary creation called The Taste of Mango, made by a Sri Lankan-British filmmaker named Chloe Abrahams as her feature directorial debut. This premiered in 2023 at a few festivals including True/False, London, and Memphis and is finally getting a proper theatrical release in the US this December. The Taste of Mango, the debut feature from filmmaker and video artist Chloe Abrahams, is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgently personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence, love. At its center are three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. Their stories, by turns complex and jubilant, testify to the entangled and ever-changing nature of inheritance, and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love. Featuring Rozana Ross & Jean Davidson.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Chloe Abrahams’ The Taste of Mango, direct from YouTube:

A hypnotically cinematic love letter flowing through time and generations. Chloe Abrahams probes raw questions her mother and grandmother have long brushed aside, tenderly untangling painful knots in her family’s unspoken past. The Taste of Mango is written and directed by up-and-coming Sri Lankan-British artist & filmmaker Chloe Abrahams, making her feature directorial debut after working as an editor and producer on a few other miniature projects. Produced By Chloe Abrahamson, Elliott Whitton, Diane Quon, and Kellen Quinn. This initially premiered at the 2023 True/False Film Festival last year. Oscilloscope Labs will debut Abrahams’ The Taste of Mango doc in select US theaters starting December 4th, 2024 coming up.
