This October, enter the world of Menelik Shabazz (1954-2021), a pioneer of Black British filmmaking. We had the privilege of welcoming him to @wshed.bsky.social in Bristol on several occasions so this strand is close to our hearts 💜

Saw the brilliant 'Northern Lights' @queensfilmtheatre.bsky.social on Saturday as part of the @cineredis.bsky.social tour. A wonderful film, a sort of snowy 'Days Of Heaven', about the founding of the Nonpartisan League in 1916 North Dakota. Remembering is a radical act.
