2024-25 programming

Thursday, July 25 @ 7pm – Fresh Black Films

Nomadic cinema and curators The Luminal Theater is proud to bring you FRESH BLACK FILMS South – presenting the work of emerging Black filmmakers from the Southeast USA.

Fresh Black Films exposes fresh audiences to new, dynamic work from emerging Black filmmakers, and Black filmmakers and creatives to more of each other’s original work.

Join us for five diverse films that include dramas, documentaries, animation, and more!


October 18 @ 6pm – gOD Talk: A Black Millennials and Faith Conversation

gOD-Talk is a groundbreaking project led by the Center for the Study of African American Religious Life in association with Pew Research Center. Featuring leading millennial voices, gOD-Talk amplifies their individual and shared experiences in a curated conversation streamed to audiences online across the United States and around the world.

The rise of the “spiritual but not religious” designation has led to a decline of millennial participation in mainline religious traditions with many questioning the relevance, mission, and overall purpose of organized religion in the 21st century.


Screening and Workshop (TBD)

Afro + Projection LAB presents Stewarding Cinematic Spaces of Care. These videos engage with questions that arise at the convergence of archival practices, gestures of care, and the moving image. Stewarding Cinematic Spaces of Care uses Gil Z. Hochberg’s, archival imagination as a thematic link between the five films in the program. Each filmmaker not only engages with the archive(s), but reimagines its function for alternative futures.

Black Film Space
