For the past two years, I have been filming people (mostly women and mostly strangers) reading letters sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine-the first mainstream feminist magazine in the US-in the 1970s, in the cities where the letters were originally written. In this short film, four women read letters about sexual violence that were sent to Ms. Magazine between 1974-1976.

Poster for The Great North

2024 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Beginning at the industrial revolution of the ‘great north’, Jenn Nkiru draws lines between peoples, cities, countries, buildings, movements, bodies and spaces(s) using a mixture of archive materials and new footage. There is little stillness as we are pushed and pulled through Black histories and communities across the city of Manchester and beyond. Nkiru has termed this filmmaking process “cosmic archeology”, and it is grounded in Afro-surrealism, experimental film and the Black arts movement.

And finally, rain. Drought is treated with realism and oneirism in the filmmaker’s first work, made when she was still a film student.
