Announcement 🚨 We are thrilled to announce the three filmmakers whose stories will be part of the third series of Black Britain Unspoken dropping on discovery+ this October! First, we have Joladé Olusanya FRSA, a Nigerian-British award-winning writer, poet, director and photographer based in East London. ‘mandem’ is an evocative docu-film inspired by the late poet Gboyega Odubanjo and a poem written by director Joladé in response to Odubanjo's work. This film explores the perceptions of the ‘mandem,’ portraying their deep and cultural significance within the Black British community and beyond. Up next, we have Lauren Gee, a producer from London. Passionate about platforming Black art and film, her background has seen her produce films for artist filmmakers Alberta Whittle, Onyeka Igwe, Keith Piper and Beverley Bennett as well as curating public programmes for South London Gallery, Tate and Film London. Her film ‘Dancing on Road' documents and celebrates the Black British female roller-skating community, showcasing its long history and fixture within popular culture. Last but certainly not least, Donell Atkinson-Johnson, a director & writer of independent films and music videos as well as a production freelancer in the film/HETV industry. His film ‘Lloyd the Instructor’ follows Lloyd, an eccentric driving instructor and Dylan, the last of four brothers to learn with Lloyd. In his laid-back style, he imparts his years of wisdom onto the south London youth as he teaches them the basics of driving whilst fostering an environment wherein Black men are offered the chance to be vulnerable. Join us in congratulating Joladé, Lauren, and Donell! Check back in this week as we get to know them better. Media Trust Wall to Wall BOUNCE CINEMA LIMITED Warner Bros.
