Project Detail

Black to Techno

Synopsis

Described by Nkiru as what a relic finding of a Detroiter’s public access TV watching patterns which make up the constellation of Techno might be, BLACK TO TECHNO, through a visually rich and diverse collage of intersecting narratives, conceptual frameworks, archival references and original imagery, asserts Techno not just as a musical gesture but as a philosophical, sonic and anthropological one; a model for the overcoming of alienation, the undoing of oppositions: between the individual and the means of production, body and tool, soul and machine.

A "black imaginary repository”, a container space for our collective black imaginaries that exist outside of time + space that honours the legacy of Seneca Village, a 19th-century settlement (1825-1857) which stood on black-owned land, known today as Central Park in NYC.<br /> Official Selection BlackStar Film Festival 2022

Hub Tones

Director: Jenn Nkiru

Year: 2020

The visuals created for Kamasi Washington’s modern jazz classic 'Hub Tones' invoke ideas of Amiri Baraka’s Nation Time and the immediate ecstatic connection Nkiru had to the rhythms of 'Hub Tones'. The main inspiration behind the film comes from a traditional ceremony called Oboni from the Ikwerre tribe - Nkiru’s tribe by heritage - whereby through repetition of movement and instrumentation, those in the material realm (this realm) go through a process of channelling divine ancestral connection into the spiritual realm. With each transmission and changing tone of the music, those taking part go deeper and deeper into a hypnotic and transcendent state until reaching a climax in the spiritual space. HUB TONES is a visual and spiritual ode to this experience.<br /> Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2020 - Perspectives
