First Look Teaser for ‘BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions’ Unique Doc Film

“Do I remember the future?” Rich Spirit has just unveiled the first look teaser trailer for an acclaimed new documentary film titled BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, created by filmmaker Kahlil Joseph. This first premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, and has been playing everywhere else including Berlinale, NYFF, TIFF, Vanoucver, London, and IDFA. It’s more of a video essay than a doc with a narrative – taking viewers on a profound visual / intellectual journey through Black history and beyond. “A film and filmmaker that refuses to be contained.” Kahlil Joseph’s BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions rewires history, memory, and sound into a cinematic experience unlike anything else. Adapted from his seminal video art installation, the film interweaves fictional and historical characters in an immersive story that spans 247 years across land and sea – inspired by the entirety of the “Africana” encyclopedia book in this teaser. In its mix of fictional & documentary forms, the film is inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Saidiya Hartman, and others thinkers, juxtaposing their ideas with archive material & images. This film is a must watch for cinema nerds. // Continue Reading ›
