Description

It’s September, which means it’s time for the Toronto International Film Festival! In this episode, I share my experience on the ground at TIFF — from the atmosphere of the festival to some of the highlights of the trip so far. I also dive into a few standout films I’ve seen, including Kahlil Joseph’s BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, which I had the chance to discuss with him (25:20 ). We talked about the process of working as both filmmaker and archivist, the power and responsibility of images in relation to Black history, the tension between journalism and representation, and how BLKNWS reimagines media itself as a subject.
