To support Chimurenga’s research and archival project exploring Pan-African cultural projects on both sides of the Atlantic in the years following the creation of post-colonial African states. It focuses on the influence of Ousmane Sembene’s militant films on the development and theorization of the Black Independent Cinema movement in the U.S., particularly by the so-called LA Rebellion, which gathered at the UCLA Film School in the 1970s. PASS (Pan African Space Station), a roving research platform, part installation, part public convening, part broadcast performance, is traveling to partner organizations in Bamako, Dakar, Conakry, Abidjan, Ouagadougou, Chicago, and Paris, to produce new knowledge on Pan-African cinema and its historical connections to American art and U.S. practitioners prior to the release of an online research archive and print publication.
