Distinguished filmmaker, music video director, and multimedia artist Kahlil Joseph returns to SFFILM with his first feature. Building on An Evening with Kahlil Joseph (Festival 2019) and his stated intent to present Black stories outside the constraints of traditional media narratives, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions takes us on an Afrofuturist oceanliner back to Africa. The Nautica is a beautiful vessel full of music, art installations, and welcoming spaces that encourages passengers to reconcile their personal history within a broader cultural context. Sarah (Shaunette Renée Wilson), an undercover journalist, leads the audience with reportings of activities aboard the ship. Her observations are punctuated by work from artists like Senga Nengudi, Garrett Bradley, Raven Jackson, Ja’Tovia Gary, and Alex Bell.
