Cine-Excess 2020: Online Schedule
Wednesday 4th November: Opening Night Films and Events
5pm -6pm: An Introduction to the Black Sands Educational Project
Chaired by Jo Delyse Packwood
This year’s Cine-Excess conference is presented in collaboration with the Black Sands Educational Project, which seeks to educate UK based BAME artists, filmmakers and audiences about the subversive potential that surrounds black representations in cult and marginal cinema formats.
The panel includes an introduction to the ongoing Black Sands project, with two additional short films submitted by director Philip Ray Tommy, which further contextualise the appeal of horror and cult cinema to BAME artists and filmmakers. Short Sharp Shocks: The Films of Philip Tommy Ray includes Cain & Abel (2017) and Shave (2020).
