Welcome II The Terrordome
Dir. Ngozi Onwurah
With Suzette Llewellyn, Saffron Burrows, Felix Joseph
1995, 90min, 35mm
The first film by a black woman to receive a theatrical release in the UK, this deeply disturbing, unsung Afrofuturist jolt imagines a sci-fi dystopia where black people have been confined to the slums of the Terrordome—a hotbed of racial unrest where the killing of a black boy by the police sets off an explosion of further violence. Creating an impressively-realized, centuries-spanning cosmology on a DIY budget, Nigerian-born director Ngozi Onwurah conjures a searing, strikingly original vision.
