Black Reels Project - Filmmaking Workshop

The Black Reels Project was a twofold initiative consisting of both a filmmaking workshop and a film festival designed for Black, African, and Afro-diasporic artists. This project was organized by Kameron Locke, Project Leader of the Black Reels Project and founding member of the arts- activism collective Black Art Action Berlin (BAAB), supported by the BAAB network. BAAB was a collective that centered on Black, African, and Afro-diasporic artists and communities in Germany. Film producer and UdK lecturer Karina Griffith joined the Black Reels Project as Curatorial Leader for the Black Reels Film Festival. Branwen Okpako and Jide Tom Akinleminu led the creation of the Black Reels short films. The festival and workshop films showcased diverse perspectives, realities, and forms. To support ongoing community building and culture-making, this event centered and synergized the magical possibilities of what happens when we come together and create together.
