Presented as part of Project a Black Planet, Rivers of Memory, Currents of Myth brings together four remarkable films that explore memory, migration and mythology through distinct experimental practices, tracing connections across Sudan, Niger and the UK.

The programme opens with Rhea Storr's Okay Keskidee! Let Me See Inside (2025), an exploration of the legacy of London's pioneering Keskidee Centre through archival material and contemporary filmmaking. Ibrahim Shaddad's A Camel (1981), a key work of Sudanese cinema, offers a quietly subversive reflection on labour and freedom through surreal humour. Moustapha Alassane's Kokoa (1985) draws on Nigerien folklore in a playful stop-motion animation by one of African cinema's great innovators. Closing the programme is Martina Attille's Dreaming Rivers (1988), a landmark of Black British experimental cinema whose lyrical meditation on migration, memory and family continues to resonate nearly four decades after its release.

The screening is followed by a live response from musician and artist Coby Sey, whose immersive sound practice enters into dialogue with Dreaming Rivers, extending the programme's reflections on memory, place and diasporic experience.

Bringing together rarely screened works alongside a recent film by Rhea Storr, Rivers of Memory, Currents of Myth offers an opportunity to encounter experimental cinema across generations and geographies in conversation with one another.
