Taking off my glasses ‘cause I ain’t got anything super intellectual to add onto this. Just… fuck yeah…. The didactical tradition of Black filmmaking never prevents Black artists from making the coolest shit ever. This pretty simple essay film on the intersection between Afrofuturism, Pan-Africanism, and Black worldbuilding in different forms has a stronger grip on aesthetics and heart than most documentaries, making talking heads feel transformative as a result.

toparme por casualidad con esto tras ver un video de jane remover diciendo que este es un "p-funk summer" no ha hecho más que corroborarlo. p-funk summer indeed y eternamente porque no he visto nada más fascinante en mucho tiempo: afrofuturismo, viajes temporales, vinculación simbólica entre el sci-fi y la diaspora africana, techno de detroit, sun ra, george clinton, la leyenda de robert johnson, y todo ello y mucho más comentado por ismael reed, samuel delany y octavia butler, entre otros. y sólo 45 minutos de esta maravilla! 45 minutos que me he pasado pegado a la pantalla como nunca antes. no puedo esperar para volvermelo a ver. y aún es mucho más chulo habiendo leído more brilliant than the sun de kodwo eshun

A beautiful documentary that might have as much quotes as it does intriguing shots.  

“How much more Alien does it get than slavery”

The sci-fi aspect that is added in just really boggles my brain; as a black kid that loves sci-fi I know i’m going to be thinking about this for weeks. Forreal a perfect watch, imo deserves a 5n1/2.
 Also not to mention watched w/ my dad (who’s from detroit n was a funk kid) and was so cool to see him reminisce about his old scene❤️
