Seen is a journal of film and visual culture focused on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities globally, published in print and online by BlackStar Projects.
In this issue:
BlackStar Film's 15th year of programming and Seen's 10th issue thematically grounds this issue in reflection and remembering. Nehad Khader writes about some of the festival's most unforgettable screenings, Arthurt Jafa speaks with Róisín Tapponi on his return to cinema, directing his first feature at 65, his kinship with Jean-Michel Basquiat, and his artistic roots in Daughters of the Dust. 30 years since The Watermelon Woman, Cheryl Dune looks back at her directorial choices and considers how the film, made with little money and time has become queer canon and a touchstone for Black lesbians and studs. Elsewhere the genre defying Bochura, a semi-autobiographical animated film about a Morocon coyote filmmaker is profiled. "Imagination is not escape. Imagination is the practise that keeps us capable of collective transformation."
