Waterloo

The University of Waterloo and The Congress of Black Women are thrilled to present BLACK@WATERLOO: BLACK FILM FESTIVAL, a celebration of storytelling for and by Black creatives.

The festival showcases the diversity and creativity of Black filmmaking, from both political and musical documentaries to the telling of real Black Canadian narratives.

Darren Aronofsky's debut, for which he won 'Best Director' at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. Dramatically gripping and frighteningly smart, this Lynchian thriller does wonders with its unlikely subject and shoestring budget.

The world seems to be coming to an end, teeming with the vestiges of a human presence. Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species, and will have to team up with them despite their differences.

After his mother decides to relocate their family from Jamaica to Canada, young Jamal runs off to spend time with his best friend, the girl he likes, and his substitute father figures. He also visits the grave of his beloved father one last time.
