Hey Friend,
Thanks to everyone who joined us last week at BlackStar Film Festival 2021 ([link removed]) .
We were proud to sponsor the 10th annual celebration of the visual and storytelling traditions of the African diaspora and of global communities of color, with virtual screenings, panels, and a daily morning show, plus select in-person screenings and parties in Philadelphia.
Here are some highlights from the festival:

PANEL: “Glitch and the Moving Image” moderated by MediaJustice alum Imran Siddiquee and co-sponsored by MediaJustice, this conversation delved into how digital platforms under racial capitalism extract value from Blackness while devaluing Black people and how Black storytelling is a form of resistance.

Q&A WITH FILMMAKERS: MediaJustice Narrative Director Eteng Ettah moderated a Q&A with filmmakers from #BSFF21 to explore things like the director's creative process, the role films play in changing material conditions, and what compelled them to tell their stories.

INTERVIEW: Eteng also sat down with visual storyteller, photographer, filmmaker, producer, curator, and #BSFF21 panelist Jazmin Jones on The Daily Jawn to talk Seeking Mavis Beacon, glitch feminism, Black fishing, and more. Watch the video here ([link removed]) (starts at 28:02).
The festival may be over, but our work isn’t. We’ll never stop fighting for Black people to be the tellers of our own stories. Consider donating ([link removed]) to make sure we can continue to do more events like this.

See you next time!
