INVISIBLE UNIVERSE (DOCUMENTARY WIP) | TRAILER
In 2003, independent filmmaker, M. Asli Dukan set out to make a documentary about the history of Black creators in the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror. 15 years later, she realized that what she actually documented was the birth of a movement that would lay the foundation for what is now called Afrofuturism. And today, with the artistic and economic success of Black Panther, Afrofuturism has become a global phenomenon. Invisible Universe posits though that the film’s success rests atop an informal network of Black creators, academics and fans forming a culture and seeking out a manifestation of their imagination. What follows is the story of the filmmaker’s experiences documenting the emergence of this speculative Black arts movement.
