Ephraim Asili’s feature-length debut is a remarkable ensemble work that takes place almost entirely inside a West Philadelphia house. The film follows a community of young Black artists and activists who come together to form a collective. Asili has spent nearly a decade exploring various aspects of the African diaspora and his own identity within it, culminating in this powerful film.
* Asili merges radical Black traditions with a loving homage to Jean-Luc Godard’s film La Chinoise. Thought without practice is empty. Action without thought is blind. [GD]
