💡May 5 - 9, 2021
A heightened weekend of creative placemaking.

A pair of experimental docs that turn ethnographic

A pair of experimental docs that turn ethnographic filmmaking inside out and offer visionary explorations of place. @fayadayi matches tone with subject to produce a hallucinogenic journey through the Ethiopian khat trade. Meanwhile ROCK BOTTOM RISER drops post-colonial discourse in a blender with pop culture musings and features the best use of dubstep you’ll see in a doc to date.⁠⁠

How is the act of observing politicized? Weaponize

How is the act of observing politicized? Weaponized? Is technological progress inevitable? Does it isolate us or bring us together? Two of our films this year—ALL LIGHT, EVERYWHERE and USERS—explore multiple facets of how technology affects our lives, and consider whether tech is an expression of our humanity or, perhaps, the harbinger of its destruction.⁠⁠

In the summer of 1969, the nine-week Harlem Cultural Festival created stimulating, inspirational, and stirring experiences for the Black and Brown communities of Harlem—then it was all forgotten. First-time filmmaker Ahmir "@questlove" Thompson resuscitates a lost archive and invites attendees of the landmark festival to recall and recapture their soulful memories. ⁠
