BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is a distinctive cinematic experience that mirrors the sonic textures of a record album, weaving fiction and history in an immersive journey in which the fictionalized figures of W. E. B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey join artists, musicians, Kahlil Joseph’s family, and even Twitter chats in a vision for Black consciousness. Joseph explained, “BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions brings together every format of the moving image I’ve engaged with—cinema, video art, music video, social media, and documentary. It is a layered, multi-dimensional exploration of what the moving image can achieve, both as an artistic medium and as a tool for cultural critique.”
