Black Life invites you to New Black Wave, Vol. 2 at the Roxie in San Francisco this Saturday

hello friends,
we hope to see you at the Roxie this Saturday, September 24 at 4pm in San Francisco, for New Black Wave, Vol. 2, a presentation of films by Canyon Cinema, Hello Benjamin Films and the Los Angeles Filmforum. This program is curated by DaManuel Richardson and Solomon Turner of Hello Benjamin Films.
New Black Wave showcases films by Black filmmakers that push cinema’s conceptual and aesthetic boundaries to explore deep-rooted emotions within the African Diaspora. Back for its second edition, the films in New Black Wave, Vol. 2 remix public and personal archives to reveal new meanings within familiar images of Black life in America. We bear witness to the absolute and overwhelming freedom exhibited in Black expression and the ever-present power of Black culture. The show features brilliant films by Michèle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, Julie Dash, Ja’Tovia Gary, Paige Taul, Jenn Nkiru, Moïse Togo, and Darol Olu Kae.
The screening will be followed by a discussion between Paige Taul, Moïse Togo & myself, ruth gebreyesus. You can purchase tickets for the Roxie here or tune in online for an online screening that will open on Saturday 9.24 from 4pm to midnight PT here.
take good care,
Ryanaustin + ruth
