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. The screening features films by Michèle Stephenson and Imani Dennison, Julie Dash, Ja’Tovia Gary, Paige Taul, Jenn Nkiru, Moïse Togo, and Darol Olu Kae and is followed by a discussion with filmmakers and writer and CAAM curator Taylor Renee Aldridge.

Please note: Screening takes place at 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 W. Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles

Presented in partnership with Los Angeles Filmforum, Hello Benjamin Films, and Canyon Cinema
