In Full Color: Celebrating Black Stories

On February 17th, we held a film screening of Young Soul Rebels together with Cinelogue, a streaming platform which provides a collaborative space for film curation, global streaming, and critical dialogue. As an extension of our screening program with Cinelogue, we invite you to stream In Full Color: A Celebration of Black Stories via the platform.

In Full Color presents a collection to re-contextualize the past and insist on the fullness of Black life in the present and future. Spanning across the Caribbean, Africa, and the diaspora, and touching on topics such as colonialism, queerness, and political resistance, these films highlight the joy, persistence, and creativity of Black people across the globe. Cinelogue is strongly focused on the cinema of the Global Majority (people from formerly and currently colonized geographies who make up over 80% of the world’s population).

By presenting critical independent cinema from regions and communities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania, Cinelogue seeks and promotes local understanding and inter-regional connections between different films and their makers. In doing so, we aim to continue the legacy of many filmmakers, cultural practitioners, and thinkers from previous generations and their cinematic contributions to anti-colonial movements and solidarity building.

Young Soul Rebels is a pioneering film for Black and queer British cinema, set against the backdrop of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee and following soulboys Caz (Mo Sesay) and Chris (Valentine Nonyela) who run a pirate radio station in 1970s East London.
