SERIES

Ethics & Aesthetics is a film series that examines socially relevant films for form, content, and technique through a public screening-and-discussion format. The series aims to deepen relationships between BIPOC filmmakers and our Detroit community, foster critical thinking about filmmaking; and connect community members to local social justice and movement building organizations who do work related to the subject matters of the films we feature. 

​

We carefully curate films guided by the following values: 

• We prioritize films made by Black, Brown, Indigenous, People of Color, Immigrant, Disabled, Poor/Working Class, Queer, Trans*, non-binary, Women and Femme filmmakers.

• We prioritize films made by people who belong to the communities their films are about. 

• We prioritize stories that disrupt harmful/dominant/mainstream narratives.
