As part of the 6th Annual BlackStar Film Festival, check out this panel that explores the role of film in cultural organizing. 

The moving image is a powerful medium, and as such it's historically been deployed in the service of many things, including war propaganda, reinforcing racialized fictions, and more. Yet collectives of makers have also used film in the service of revolutionary and post-colonial struggles -- to document, to mobilize, to build discourse. In this panel, filmmakers Bryan Green, ill weaver, and Tina Morton discuss the possibilities of social and transformative justice-charged art making. Moderated by Sara Zia Ebrahimi.

Featured Artists: Sara Zia Ebrahimi & Tina Morton
