SHORT FILM PROGRAMME

Lost Property

Everyone forgets that a night out starts with a security guard. With hundred of photographs sharing the sights of what the bouncer sees from the edges of a dancefloor, a Black queer security guard reveals the intimate realities of a career in nightlife.

The Beat

DJ and Producer Karen Nyame KG reflections on rhythm, heritage and femme identity inspired rave videographer Daisy Gaston’s vibrant, beat-driven visuals. This collaboration celebrates the enduring pull of the beat through sight and sound.

#friendsonfilm

Britain’s foremost chronicler and archivist of contemporary Black queer culture, Bernice Mulenga celebrates ten years of their iconic photo series #friendsonfilm. Through abstracts of a conversation with their closest of friends, we commemorate a historic moment in time.

Baianá (Bonde Re-edit)

Accompanying unseen footage of her Baiana music promo, Nia Archives takes us on a journey that starts in the favelas of Rio and that ends up on the streets of Manchester. Thanks to Universal Music for their support in the making of this film.

Beautiful (Future)

SHERELLE delivers a powerful rallying cry of Black queer communities birthing dance music. Wanting to break through the South monopolising Black and queer narratives in the UK, SHERELLE talks about her community-driven platform Beautiful coming to cities like Liverpool.
