OUR RIGHT TO GAZE: BLACK FILM IDENTITIES
SEE EVENT DETAILS
In this collection of six shorts, filmmakers gaze at themselves and their world, attempting to make sense of what they see reflected back. From gripping drama to heart-warming comedy, Our Right to Gaze: Black Film Identities features timely stories from Black artists that take us outside of the ordinary. Runtime: 82 mins.

“there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God” (Romans chapter 13 verse 1) and that prayer for those in “high positions” must be offered
(1 Timothy chapter 2 verse 2). Beyond this, many believers seem near obsessive about the political realm. Whether in relation to so-called “Trumpism” or the misnomer of a “miracle election” of Scott Morrison, the language of the Bible is being hijacked by the powers of our day.
