Programmed November 2020

Directed by Ngozi Onwurah

Featuring a new introduction by the filmmaker A vital cinematic voice of the Black diaspora, British-Nigerian filmmaker Ngozi Onwurah has forged an eclectic cinematic vocabulary that spans documentary and genre spectacle, formal experimentation and bold political commentary. Her short work includes autobiographical explorations of racial and sexual identity ( The Body Beautiful ) as well as nonfiction studies of the conflicts between tradition and modernity that shape gender roles in Nigerian society ( The Desired Number ). And with her dystopian feature debut, Welcome II the Terrordome , Onwurah proved herself to be a visionary ahead of her time, becoming the first Black woman to direct a British feature in the process.
