Sheffield Doc/Fest and Warp Records are proud to present the World Premiere of Gaika’s newly commissioned hypnotic live score responding to Khalik Allah’s latest documentary Black Mother.

Black Mother + Q&A
UK Preview Screening + Q&A with director Khalik Allah hosted by FoR18 Festival Curator Nico Marzano
Black Mother
Photographer and filmmaker Khalik Allah (FIELD NIGGAS) returns to Sarasota with another singular work of portraiture, this time capturing the spirit of his mother’s home country, Jamaica. Allah’s approach—intimate and open to the sights and sounds of street life—allows for a rich montage of the experiences of contemporary Jamaican life, creating an empathic synchronicity with a multivalent culture, attuned to the rhythms of everyone he encounters, whether they are preachers or prostitutes.
