As Above

Poetic short film / Runtime 3 mins 39 secs

'As Above' directed by Kemi Anna, is a love letter to Blackness, celebrating Black love, Black beauty and Black glory.

The concept for the film came from the realisation that black people are often captured from high angles or behind white protagonists. We’re often viewed as inferior or as villains. However, ‘As Above’ dispels that myth and shows us for who we are.

The film captures authentic relationships between families, friends and couples in a way that is reflective of real life. Both the film and photo series use low angles to view blackness ‘As Above’ rather than below. It’s a beautiful exploration of wholesome intimacy and a tribute to community and culture.
