About the film

Adapted from Kahlil Joseph’s renowned video art installation, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is a distinctive cinematic experience that mirrors the sonic textures of a record album, weaving fiction and history in an immersive journey where the fictionalized figures of W. E. B Du Bois and Marcus Garvey join artists, musicians, Joseph’s family, and even Twitter chats, in a vision for black consciousness.

Alongside the film, viewers will receive access to an exclusive, never-before-released conversation between Ryan Coogler and Kahlil Joseph exploring the making of the film, artistic practice, and the future of Black filmmaking.
