Is My Living In Vain

Is My Living in Vain is a meditation on the continuing history and emancipatory potential of the Black church as a space of belonging, affirmation and community organising. Combining shot footage, oral histories and archive material from both sides of the Atlantic, the film follows a tangled thread of personal and collective memories to interrogate the church’s contribution to a Black radical tradition.

MASS

As we follow The Seeker, who moves between the city and the sanctuary, "MASS" carves out the intimate communal spaces and intangible signals that characterise the contemporary Black experience.
