Going on right now, is the Sovereign Film Festival 2020 which has been EXTENDED from its original schedule of just one weekend, (Nov 13 to 15) and has now been extended all the way through November 22nd. Sovereign is a queer Black women’s film festival that is themed around all the things we hold dear: Life, Live and Liberation and showcases films from not only the United States, but from around the world including South Africa, Kenya, and Mexico.
It’s a production from Seattle’s Earth Pearl Collective in partnership with the Northwest Film Forum and with support from The Hansberry Project. Earth Pearl Collective ” supports the work of women living at the intersections of the African Diaspora who are dedicated to healing their communities through creative collaborations”.
Some of the films in the festival:
MINO: A Diasporic Myth, an example of AfroFuturism about a society of women in the future who can conceive children without men.
Carmen with a K, directed by Lauren Du Pree and Marques Du Pree- This web series follows Carmen with a K, everyone’s favorite Instagram model, as she navigates her newfound “fame” upon the release of her debut single, “The Butterscotch Goddess.”
