In this new video, watch Criterion curatorial director Ashley Clark introduce our 28-film Afrofuturism series, now playing on the Criterion Channel! https://www.criterionchannel.com/afrofuturism/season:1/videos/afrofuturism-intro
What's with all these dislikes? I wouldn't have picked Criterion's white audience to be this fragile about this, since a major purpose of cinema as an art form is bringing forth understanding about a variety of cultures, backgrounds and philosophies different from your own.
Is there a link for the talk @1:20?
Afrofuturism = more victimhood. Bringing the plantation to the future.
What is the point of placing struggle fiction in the future?
Just dumb.
Hope there's a nod to Octavia Butler on the full feature. If you don't her work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqqJTMxeOcQ now you do. Thanks!
Shout out to Sun Ra & Rammellzee 🪐🛸

Some of the comments are bumming me out. Distressing the amount of pushback black artists get for merely operating in largely white artistic spaces.
I cannot hear the phrase "Black to the Future" and not think of Peter Griffin.

Guy being interviewed looks like The Weeknd.
