A members' room for black cinema — a curated season every 90 days, live screenings you watch together, and a restored archive built to be studied. No algorithm, no autoplay, no thumbnail deciding what matters.

Five films, programmed as an argument rather than a playlist. Each one arrives with a written note explaining why it sits where it does in the run.

A new season every 90 days · every past season stays in the archive
What membership includes
Every 90 days the Curator assembles a new programme — canonical work, buried work, and premieres that are not streaming anywhere else. Each film arrives with written context and a curatorial note.
Biweekly, watched together, with discussion in the room and a Q&A after. Frame-accurate sync, no autoplay, no second screen. Members also get 10% off tickets to live events and everything in the store.
One emerging filmmaker per season joins the Society directly — their work, their process, their argument. It is a conversation, not a panel.
Titles like Within Our Gates, The Blood of Jesus and Hellbound Train — restored frame by frame with our own process, with the making of each film and what it means to black cinema laid out alongside it. Organized by movement, decade, country and theme. Built to be studied rather than scrolled.
