The Diaspora Suite by Ephraim Asili Jazz on Screen Thu 13 Nov 2025, 18:30,Cinema 2
A film series created over the course of seven years exploring Black culture and the African diaspora through jazz and shared histories, using music to shape its rhythm, energy and visual language.
“Measuring Time,” an evening of live sound performance by Ephraim Asili taking place as part of our series of “Imageless Film” performances in connection and collaboration with the “Imageless Films” series at Anthology Film Archives.
New York-based artist Ephraim Asili will provide an improvised soundscape performance on the Boss SP-404 SX Linear Wave Sampler Sequencer, which was used to score several of his films, tapes, and most recently the vinyl record included in his recently published book, “Measuring Time” (VSW PRESS).
In 2014 the program Avant-Noir was first organised on the occasion of the Artist’s Film Biennial at Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. It was conceived to celebrate the work of artists active in this new century who are struggling for a new value and a new perspective placed on the black image in film and video art. These essential films and videos and the artists who created them are in some cases woefully underseen, in other cases known but not celebrated nearly enough.
