Spectral Grounds, Black Experimental Film, a free and available worldwide screening of moving image works by Black women and nonbinary filmmakers from September 19-25th, 2022.

Spectral Grounds, Black Experimental Film is a screening of moving image works by Black women and nonbinary filmmakers across generations from the dispersed territories of the Black diaspora—continental and otherwise. The program features works which trade illusory and often violent certainties for unwieldy terrains and troubled waters. They practice experimentation at the level of film, but also, necessarily, at the level of existence, as part of an endless repertoire and arsenal of Black survival. Inhabiting spectral grounds means making grounding a verb rather than a name—a quest for provisional anchors and reprieves, rather than for permanence or mastery.
