MY TOP PICK: AFROFUTURISMS PAST

The release in 2018 of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther provoked renewed interest in the cultural aesthetic of Afrofuturism and in particular the way that its history within experimental film-making over the past 50 years has laid the groundwork for both the critical and (importantly, in the field of counter-cultural movements) commercial success of the film.

Focusing on key works from the 1970’s onward from Africa and the African Diaspora, the films on display in the Art Projects Screening Room, 2019, explored the past experiences and future possibilities of African communities through alternate and imagined realities. The programme introduced the many different creative reinterpretations of science fiction, documentary, historical fiction, fantasy, straight drama and magic realism that are a feature of Afrofuturism’s innovative nature and which have ensured its continuing influence.

This event takes place from Thursday 23rd to Sunday 26th January 2020.
