SNAPSHOT is a 12 month long season launching in April 2024 which explores the SNAPSHOTS of Black Girlhood found in cinema. The season will include re-releases, archive work and new releases.
By mixing contemporary with the classics, as T A P E has done many times before, this season will be an excellent deep dive into films by Black women across the decades. SNAPSHOT aims to engage a new audience for the films of Black female directors through activities, a live community built exhibition and social media material and assets. The tour includes films that offer a snapshot of a time and place, challenging our misconceptions of the cinema canon through their powerful depictions of Black, female led stories.
ALMA'S RAINBOW
A coming-of-age comedy-drama about three African American women living in Brooklyn, ALMA’S RAINBOW explores the life of teenager Rainbow Gold (Victoria Gabrielle Platt) as she enters womanhood and navigates standards of beauty, self-image, and the rights women have over their bodies.
Director Ayoka "Ayo" Chenzira is an independent African-American producer, film director, television director, animator, writer, experimental filmmaker, and transmedia storyteller. She is the first African American woman animator and one of a handful of Black experimental filmmakers working since the late 1970s.
