These videos were perfect.

These videos were perfect.

 


Firstly, I’d like to start with what I believe to be the best music video of 2020. Playboi Carti has an incredibly loyal fanbase who waited patiently for him to release a new project since his debut album ‘Die Lit’ in 2018.

 

This is one of my favourites because the video fits Carti’s elusive character and the nature of the release. 

It’s on-brand, as they would say. The simplicity of the edit amazes me, too. Sudden blacked out moments only had me wanting to see more of what little we could see of Carti in the first place.

 

It also stands out because you could reproduce this shoot on a small budget.

 

Director: Nick Walker. DP: Caleb Seales. Colourist: Brandon Chavez. Photographer: Gunner Stahl.

 

Location, location, location. As with his previous release, ‘Follow God’ is amazing due to the location it’s filmed in. Supported by clean, wide, and negative space cinematography. It’s hard not to love this video.

 

And the way it ends with North West screaming the lyrics in real life instead of the official audio version is beautiful. It’s hard to imagine a better treatment for this video.

 

Creative Direction: Angel Boyd. Director: Jake Schreier. DP: Adam Newport-Berra. Production Company: Park Pictures. Colourist: Matt Osborne/The Mill. VFX: Chris Buongiorno.

 

 

If you want to know who Post Malone is, you need not look any further than this music video. It captures Post’s essence in full. This ‘motley crew’ features his close friends and associates in the industry.

 

This video portrays his love for rock culture, beer and cars. Known for his SFX in music videos, Cole Bennett has taken a more minimalist approach with this, because the theme speaks for itself.

 

It’s also good to highlight the number of people involved in this production. Music videos are typically undervalued and directors are expected to produce great work on a not so great budget. This is an indicator of how many people is necessary to bring such a video to life.

Queer Black people to put it simply. The communities which I exist within are always my inspiration. I say this a lot but Black and queer people, to me, are magic, individually and collectively as communities.  I wanted to show the nuances, the energies and the debunking of heteronormative structures which I often see in queer Black communities. Obviously, I cannot sugar coat all experiences and everything I see because we are all still products of our environments, but I am consistently inspired by the willingness to break down barriers and binaries in these communities. This is what led me to focus on masculinity. Masculinity, like many things in society, can be very rigid and exclusionary (oftentimes very problematic). But the masculinity I see in some queer Black communities and queer and Black relationships (particularly the one shown in the film) around me sang something different. Queer Black masculinities are love stories of resilience and power. I wanted to show the experiences of those interrogating what it means to be masculine and how that can look and feel very different from what we are often told what masculinity can be.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3706″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”3707″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”3708″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]What do you think about the landscape of queer films right now? What voices do you think are missing?

 

Consistently it is queer Black voices. Whether that’s them being portrayed on films, or those working behind the scenes to accurately portray the lives of queer Black experiences. The industry, in general, is saturated by whiteness; white experiences, white faces and white production teams and that is no different for queer cinema. If I am completely honest, I am tired of having to be satisfied with the majority of queer films that gets popularised being white. I think this is especially because it is not as if there is a lack of talent from queer Black filmmakers. 

 

Just look at the past and present queer Black films which are nothing short of incredible. Such as the Watermelon Woman, Stud life, Pariah, Rafiki, and Moonlight. I think that is why it is even more disheartening that the landscape of queer film in general is. so. white because the queer Black film being produced is phenomenal. 

 

But I also think it’s important to note that although these voices are being silenced, they’re not missing. Only within the mainstream industry are they missing because, well, racism. That’s why I think the internet can be such a great place because people can start to put things out themselves, big up themselves! Just within 2020, I saw some incredible shorts by queer Black filmmakers centring real experiences that touch your soul. Such as Loved by You written and directed by Nana Duncan and Tender written and directed by Felicia Pride. So it’s all there. The talent, the voices, the portrayal of real experiences but on a much smaller scale when compared to the industry as a whole.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]What’s next for the project? 

 

I am expanding it with the help of some funding and continuing to highlight masculinity within queer Black communities. I am excited because it means I get to focus on more experiences and ways in which people navigate what it means to be masculine whilst being queer and Black.

 

Also, HOME Mcr will be screening my film as part of their A City Seen film festival. Real-to-Real? Personal tales from the LGBT Community. 

 

It will be screened on 25th February 2021 at 7 pm. Anyone can attend and there will be a Q+A at the end with myself & the organisations involved in the film. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]What are your hopes for this year? (that’s a big question lol) More like what do you want to work on next?

 

Big question! Learn more and create more. I am very new in the game and I still feel like I have a lot to learn about filmmaking and producing and I want to keep being continually inspired by my surroundings. I am moving back to my birthplace, Barbados this month so I am excited to learn and re-learn my home – whatever that means – and I have a couple of projects lined up. I am at the very beginning stages of researching the history of sexuality and gender in the Caribbean, starting with Barbados and looking particularly at women and non-binary people’s experiences. I am also working on a smaller project which takes an intimate look at queer Black relationships and highlights the experiences of these through different lenses.

Black Black is a poem written by Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah.

The video for this poem was an impromptu collaboration between himself, Stella Malfilatre and Ellen Mercer.

The poem explores the different scenarios and descriptions that make up the black experience. First questioning why those experiences should be something to be ashamed of and then rejoicing for having had those experiences in the first place.

Black Black is an ode to all things black and a love-letter to all black people.

At a time when there was nowhere for the LGBT community to meet, take refuge, or enjoy recreational activities. The ‘80s, ‘90s and early 2000s were marked by a lot of pain and abandonment. They were hard times for the community characterised by police violence, as authorities carried out raids against homosexual victims of rape, cruel and inhuman treatment. Added to this, the HIV pandemic took the lives of hundreds of colleagues who died from the disease, in complete abandonment and isolation.

For those and many other reasons we organised ourselves to create Casa Arcoirís: our home, a safe space free from violence in all its expressions. At Arcoirís we help tired bodies recover, and heal non-physical wounds in the hearts caused by the discrimination and rejection of our families and a society that has taken away the will to live for many people. For the last 17 years we have supported hundreds of brothers and sisters, with many economic limitations but a wealth of solidarity, love, understanding, and companionship as well.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”1019″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”Rixi García by Manu Valcarce” font_container=”tag:h6|font_size:14px|text_align:left|color:%23707070″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”image-caption”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”none” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”0″ bottom_margin=”0″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1599502179549{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

This documentary tells the story of Arcoiris, a group of LGBTQI+ human rights defenders in Honduras. In recent years the organisation has faced mounting attacks and threats following relentless public abuse and stigmatisation. Prejudice from the police and judiciary means that these attacks go largely unpunished, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be an LGBT+ human rights defender. The films reveal both the severity of the risks they face and their determination to further their struggle.

The director, Manu Valcarce is a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in London. He has worked on projects ranging from the lives of Muslim transsexuals living in Jakarta, Indonesia, to those affected by austerity in rural Spain. His work has been screened in the Tate Modern as part of the Uniglo Tate Lates and exhibited in solo and collective shows as well as photography festivals.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Default” quote=”‘As a gay man growing up in 1990s Spain – when attitudes were not as open-minded as they are today – I can relate to the pain suffered by the LGBT+ community in countries yet to experience that transformation.
