Description
The playful films in this compilation offer a poetic celebration of life, love and longing for freedom. This program includes, Longing for light, Loving in Between, and The Archive: Queer Nigerians.
Composition
Loving In Between
An energized montage of archive footage that breaks with narrow-mindedness to celebrate life and queer love. The spoken word performance dances to the rhythm of freedom in a funky cinematic tribute to Eros.
The Archive: Queer Nigerians
A poetic portrayal of audio archives in which queer Nigerians who live in the UK record their life stories. They talk about the happiness of being able to live and love in freedom. But underneath, the sadness of exile can also be heard.
Luminous
Luminous presents a wide range of styles and formalist approaches, from observational to personal to experimental.
