Part of the Africa in Motion Season
Foresight is an urgent anthology of short films that explores alternate realities through the lens of culturally diverse filmmakers who call the UK home. This compilation contributes to a perspective continually missing from our screens... a future where people of colour exist! Foresight was conceived and produced by Fiona Lamptey and commissioned by Film4. It presents an opportunity to address the uncertainty that living in the UK has posed to people of colour and is a response to the rising level of racism and intolerance.
“By imagining the future, we can kickstart a necessary conversation and inspire change. We don’t want the futures presented in these films – so what do we do to change that?” - Fiona Lamptey
There will be a directors' Q&A via Zoom after the screening.
Introduction by Liz Chege (Africa in Motion Festival Director)
Q&A Host: Eilidh Akilade (journalist, The Skinny, gal-dem)
Zoom Q&A Guests:
Akinola Davies (director of X US)
Courttia Newland (screenwriter of THE FUTURE ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE)
Jeremy Ngatho Cole (director of TWICE AS GOOD)
All tickets are FREE.
