BUFF at BCA: No Shade feature film and discussion

Friday, June 8, 2018 12:00 PM 4:00 PM

Feature film screening followed by a forum discussion with the director and key cast on the disease that is ‘Dark skin vs Light skin’  

Told through the prism of colourism, love and misogynoir, No Shade tackles the deep seated issues of black love in the U.K. Jade, a successful freelance photographer is hopelessly in love with her best friend of 10 years, bar manager Danny. She discovers that the one thing keeping them from happy ever after is her inherent beauty – her complexion and skin tone. Her shade.

This feature film screening will be followed by Q&A discussion with Clare Anyiam-Osigwe BEM (Director/Writer/Actor), Kadeem Pearse (Leader Actor), Adele Oni (Lead Actress).

Tickets are £15, £12 concessions.
