Rainbow Serpent is grateful to be part of this year’s Seattle Black Film Festival (SBFF) at the historic Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute. For over twenty years, SBFF has been a space for deep reflection, creative exchange, and celebration of Black storytelling in all its forms.
On the final day of the festival, we will present a program titled "A Journey Through the African Cosmos," featuring two of our core film works: Blackstar Sanctuary and Obi Mbu (The Primordial House). These films emerge from our ongoing exploration of African cosmologies, ancestral memory, and speculative Black futures through multimedia storytelling.
Obi Mbu (The Primordial House) and Blackstar Sanctuary have screened at art institutions and festivals in the United States and abroad, including New York, California, Sweden, and Pennsylvania. This will be our first showing in Seattle.
Following the screening, Rainbow Serpent co-founder Marques Redd will offer reflections on the creative process and the cultural frameworks that shape our work.
