A diverse group of people sits in a theater, attentively watching a performance at the New Black Film Collective film screening. Drinks rest on small tables before them, and the seats are arranged in rows, creating a focused and engaged atmosphere.

Join us for an evening of cinema and conversation that shines a spotlight on fresh creative voices.

Hosted in collaboration with The New Black Film Collective, this screening brings together audiences and filmmakers to explore stories that challenge, inspire and entertain.

We’ll begin with opening remarks before diving straight into four new short films:

  • Christine Ubochi – The Skin I Move In
  • Tomisin Adepeju – Appreciation
  • Chioma Ejimofo – Goodbye Train
  • Femi Bajulaye, Emmanuel Oluwaseyi Bajulaye – ÈKÚN OMI: Tears of the desert water

After the screenings, stick around for a lively Q&A with the filmmakers, where you’ll have the chance to hear about their journeys, creative processes and the themes that shaped their work.

This shorts programme and Q&A are part of The New Black Film Collective’s Nolly-Oh! Tour, which celebrates filmmakers of Nigerian heritage and their unique contributions to the world of cinema.
