After-screening Q & A with filmmakers Michèle Stephenson and Darol Olu Kae moderated by curator and writer Taylor Renee Aldridge of the California African American Museum (CAAM).
Program 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.
