✨COMING SOON! ✨
Screening as a part of Focus on Film programme, Remember 2 Replenish is an immersive screening event that delves into the lived experiences of Black women across the African diaspora, offering a cinematic exploration of self-care and resilience.
Through a carefully curated selection of films, my first time hitting the Producer’s seat, this event serves as a powerful entry point into understanding the significance of self-care amidst the systemic challenges Black women face. The featured films highlight the often-overlooked realities of burnout, the pressure of societal expectations, and the collective journey towards healing and empowerment.
The programme includes:
Savannah (drama) d. by Anita W. Addison (1989)
Savannah follows Whitney James, an aspiring model grappling with the harsh realities of beauty standards shaped by whiteness.
15+: Language, mild threat, smoking
RESET (experimental) d. by Alberta Whittle .mongrel
Filmed across Scotland, South Africa and Barbados during the height of the pandemic, RESET is a poignant exploration of personal healing amidst global crises.
