Arsenal on Location: Pioneers of Black British Cinema - YOUNG SOUL REBELS (UK 1991) von Isaac Julien
In the organizer's words:
In cooperation with Arsenal on Location , City Kino Wedding is presenting the film series Pioneers of Black British Cinema from June 27 to 29, 2025 with groundbreaking cinematic works created between the 1970s and 1990s. At this time, filmmakers such as Horace Ové, Ngozi Onwurah, Menelik Shabazz, John Akomfrah and Isaac Julien increasingly succeeded in questioning the prevailing ideologies of the (white) film and television industry and confronting them with alternative images of a "Black Britain". The selection of five film programs takes into account intersectional perspectives and confrontations with the (post)colonial history of Great Britain.

YOUNG SOUL REBELS (UK 1991) by Isaac Julien
British video artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien (*1960) is considered a formative voice of New Queer Cinema. In YOUNG SOUL REBELS, he combines elements of crime thriller, coming-of-age drama and love story, accompanied by a lively soundtrack by Funkadelic, Junior Murvin, Parliament and X-Ray Spex. In 1977, soul boys Caz (Mo Sesay) and Chris (Valentine Nonyela) run a local pirate radio station in the East London district of Dalston. When their friend TJ is killed while cruising in a local park, they try to solve the murder. As the town prepares for the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations, social tensions between skinheads, punks, the police and the two friends threaten to escalate. The film was funded by the BFI and produced by Sankofa Workshop co-founder Nadine Marsh-Edwards.
