NOVA FRONTIER FILM Festival

Nova Frontier Film Festival is a timely, narrative, documentary and experimental film festival.

Nova Frontier Film Festival is a timely, narrative, documentary and experimental film festival, passionately committed to enhancing the visibility of filmmakers from the African diasporas, Caribbean, Latin America and the Middle East, situated in Brooklyn, New York and Marseille, France - Cities which serves as a nexus between these regions. With a program of on-going film screenings, workshops,

conferences, lectures, and concerts, we aim to create a hybrid film festival that promotes intercultural understanding and intellectual engagement through the art of cinema, while celebrating, deepening and expanding our connections to diverse communities, cultures and languages in New York, France, other European regions, and globally. Nova Frontier Film Festival is also dedicated to supporting emerging talents from under-represented regions and weak infrastructure for films. To that aim, our talent lab is conceived as an incubator and hub, a platform for creativity and learning, dedicated to educating and fostering the next generation of talented filmmakers in the philosophy, skill-sets, and distribution of independent filmmaking and new media. Thus a focus on youths is to create a safe environmental that facilities the exchange of knowledge, collaboration and co-production, while simultaneously working on dissolving cultural boundaries (conceived and pre-conceived) that separates - Engaging in productive rather than pernicious confrontations. We bring promising talents together with international filmmakers and experts in the field to help them realize their projects, identify markets, mentorship and career opportunities that also help stimulate the growth of European film and audiovisual industries. Building strategic partnerships with other film festivals, institutions and organization, Nova Frontier Film Festival will also be organizing special film screenings and incubator film and media labs inFrance as well as in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, with indoor/open-air screenings and exhibitions - A powerful initiative to bring communities together in civic engagement and action through independent films and media that address key social issues of our time.

Nova Frontier Arts and its founders are honored to support global programs advancing theater, performance, and Black histories through bold artistic narratives.

This night will not be horrific 💫
        ✨ 29 May at Theater aan de Rijn ✨

The title refers to the propaganda used to stigmatise Afro-German children and families in the Rhineland after the First World War. Under terms such as Schwarze Schmach am Rhein and later Horror am Rhein, Black presence was deliberately framed as a threat.

With this program, The Museum of Black Futures returns to this history. Not only to remember it, but to question it, disrupt it and open it up.

Through performance, video, music and ritual, the artists selected by the Museum of Black Futures will honour the lives of these children and reclaim the words once used to humiliate them. On this night, ‘Horror’ becomes something else... a language of resilience, a ceremony of remembrance a source of inspiration and hope.
