Black Atlantic Visions (2023)

Programmers of the Future
EYE Filmmuseum
September 2022 - July 2023As one of EYE Filmmuseum’s Programmers of The Future 2022-2023, Janilda Bartolomeu made her "rst foray into the realm of "lm programming. The year long trajectory allowed her to experiment with "lmmaking as another avenue to translate the research she hasdeveloped over the years to a broader audience.

Black Atlantic Visions was a showcase of contemporary "lms and video installations from the region also known as the Black Atlantic. In the absence of traditional archives, these people held onto histories and reinvented cultures through the conscious abyss of the Atlantic Ocean- accessed through their imagination, spirituality, and speculation.

Black Atlantic Visions: A Speculative Continent (essay by Janilda Bartolomeu)
Black Atlantic Visions consisted of an in-cinema programme, a self-curated exhibition, and an online film programme that is still available on the EYE Film Player.
