series Space Is the Place: Afrofuturism on Film
Directed by John Akomfrah | 1997
"An over-the-top fantasy, an improvisational riff on time and history."
—Chicago Reader
The influential Black Audio Film Collective crafted this experimental blend of sci-fi parable and essay film, which also serves as an essential primer on the aesthetics and dynamics of contemporary Afrofuturism. Interviews with esteemed musicians, writers, and cultural critics are interwoven with the fictional story of the “data thief,” who must travel through time and space in search of the code that holds the key to his future.
