Motivation for Winning Film:
BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions by Kahlil Joseph
“A playful visual album that unfolds like a techno score, it opens new perspectives on an important and urgent subject that has been neglected for far too long in history. It encourages us to learn, to unthink, to rethink. Creative and humorous in equal measure, it enriches the world of cinema in a personal and innovative way. There are surprises at every turn, as it blends fact and fiction with self-irony, a dignified self-awareness, and a profound intelligence about film as a medium and history as a construct. It is also an anti-cliché — a much-needed challenge to the hegemony of white Western narratives. We are left with a strong sense of curiosity about what the filmmaker will bring us next.”
