Black Diasporas Tkaronto-Toronto Filmmaker Panel & Screening

This collection of short films explores Toronto’s Black diaspora. Pulling from a collection of 500+ oral histories, these filmmakers created rich, visual stories – each as unique in style and tone as the personal narrative that inspired their work.

This screening and panel discussion is your chance to hear directly from the filmmakers who contributed to the Black Diasporas Tkaronto-Toronto exhibition.

How can film translate oral narratives into rich, visual stories? What transcends and emerges when filmmakers bring their own culture’s tales to the screen?

Join Museum of Toronto at Trinity Square Video for a screening of these short films, followed by a discussion with filmmakers from the project. Learn how these filmmakers translated oral histories and personal narratives into films that speak to a diaspora and beyond, and explore the complete exhibition at Museum of Toronto.
