An Afternoon with a Gnawa

(Meena Nanji, 2026, 12min)

The Gnawa inhabit ordinary and non-ordinary worlds, their music and song creating spaces passageways between the two. This experimental non-fiction video gives a glimpse of such a passage through a brief encounter with Mustafa, a musician who lives in Rabat, Morocco.

(Judah Iyunade, 2026, 71min)

The search for truth behind a grandmother’s mysterious disappearance, the stories told to shield the innocence of childhood begin to unravel. A retracing of her final moments, exploring where myth and fate begin to converge. An ascent to a heaven, imaging the space between where spirits linger. As her family gathers, the sacred burial rites, a final act of guidance, a chance to move beyond the dream realm and into the spiritual realm.—Judah Iyunade
