To celebrate the incredible storytelling happening at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF), we’re giving away passes to two amazing films.  🎟️

The Great North

In her dazzling debut feature, British filmmaker and artist Jenn Nkiru reimagines Manchester as a site of diasporic memory, where red brick buildings vibrate with ancestral presence and sound becomes a portal through time. The Great North moves through living rooms, nightclubs, and street corners — tracing the imprints of Black, Asian, and Irish communities across the city’s industrial past and speculative futures.

BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions

BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is the hypnotic and long-anticipated feature debut of Kahlil Joseph, a visionary filmmaker and installation artist known for his radical, genre-defying approach to Black visual culture. Structured like a concept album in 21 tracks, the film blends narrative, documentary, and archival material into a time-bending odyssey across 247 years of diasporic memory.
