BLACK IS: BOUNDLESS is a curated season of cinema exploring the breadth, complexity, and creative possibility of Black cinematic storytelling. Running across London from October to December 2026, we are bringing together independent films, filmmaker conversations, and an industry discussion to extend discourse around representation, authorship, and the cultural visibility of Black cinema beyond Black History Month.
On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family in BAFTA-winning director Rungano Nyoni’s surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.
