NATCHEZ
Competition Feature: Documentary
Saturday, September 19th 12:45pm - 2:15pm
NATCHEZ captures an unsettling clash between history and memory in a small Mississippi town; a layered mosaic of people contending with the weight of the past in a place where it is always present. Equal parts amusing and disturbing, we journey through an antebellum tourist destination at a crossroads as it grapples with a deeply troubled history that is so thoroughly ingrained in its present, we’re left to wonder if it’s actually past at all.
Directed by: Suzannah Herbert

Run time: 86 minutes
Awards: Winner, Tribeca Festival Best Documentary Feature 2025
