Ella Kemp , May 14th, 2021 09:25 As the UK finally prepares to reopen its cinema doors, tQ contributors remember their most precious memories that could have only happened in front of the big screen Over the last 14 months, we have been yearning for the big screen and looking back on the memories of brighter days spent in cinemas with a sense of bittersweet nostalgia. For me, there was also a big element of fear that these experiences would never return.

Thuso Mbedu on the pain and glory of Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad The actor discusses finding moments of beauty, comfort and magic within a story about slavery By Radheyan Simonpillai Courtesy of Amazon Studios Aaron Pierre and Thuso Mbedu hold on to each other in a scene from The Underground Railroad.

Japan’s animated exports are beloved by Black audiences, but only a precious few series and films that portray Black people or Black life have been able to avoid regressive characterizations. As a Black-led Japanese anime production focused on a multi-dimensional, drawn-from-history protagonist, ....
CinemaBlend It s the little indie that could. In 2016, writer/director Barry Jenkins sophomore feature, Moonlight, proved to be an incredible success, grossing over $65 million from its $4 million (or less) budget and earning a wealth of acclaim. Widely considered one of the best films of the early 21st century, this coming-of-age drama, based on Tarell Alvin McCraney s unpublished semi-autobiographical play, In Moonlight Black Men Look Blue, became a powerful examination of race, sexuality, and identity as seen through three life stages of its main character, Chiron. Shortly after its acclaimed release, the movie won three Oscars for Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Picture. ....
