The PanAfrican Cinema Podcast

This month's podcast takes us back to autumn 2024, when programmer, teacher and curator, Abiba Coulibaly, popped into the archive for a long overdue chat with the archival team. Together we took a deep dive into Abiba’s influences, her curatorial practice and what drives the unique ethos of 'Atlas Cinema' and 'Brixton Community Cinema'. Find links to her amazing work and the various projects she is involved within the show notes. We are so grateful to have collaborated a number of times with Abiba and we have many of the programmes and commissioned essays from her events here at the archive. They are well worth a look when you come to visit us! Find Abiba's work:                                 @brixtoncommunitycinema                                  @_atlas_cinemahttps://www.junegivannifilmarchive.org/@junegivannifilmarchive

On Friday the 13th September we were honoured to show the seminal film 'Twilight City' as part of our JGPACA film club. The Director, - and key member of the Black Audio Film Collective -  Reece Auguiste sat down that afternoon with our archival team for a wide ranging and insightful conversation about Reeces' process, his artistic influences and the impetus behind the making of the film.https://www.junegivannifilmarchive.org/@junegivannifilmarchive

This episode is a very special exploration of the life and films of Nicolás Guillén Landrián and is the third in our collaborative JGPACA series entitled African Film Heritage and Restitution.

If you enjoy, please do check out our earlier Restitution Episodes too.  Written and produced by Jessica Gordon-Burroughs and Nikolaus Pernezcky.
