In Street Flow, directors Kery James and Leila Sy tried to sketch out a portrait of a black immigrant family, where three brothers tried to find their footing in modern-day France. The film was essentially a somber portrayal of the impact of gang violence and how racial prejudice and socio-political systems have adverse effects on minorities and don’t work toward ameliorating the issues. Kery James, who starred in the film as well, is back again with Street Flow 2, handing over the directorial reins to Leila Sy this time around. There were some obvious questions left unanswered at the end of the previous movie, and it behooved this film to resolve those ones first. But this film, apart from doing the obvious, has given itself a bigger canvas this time to create a larger portrait of the Traore brothers. This time, there is the issue of finding their roots...

Gang violence disturbs more than just a family or two. It impacts the whole neighborhood where it takes root. The community might get a bad name, and the overall quality of life goes down. The 2019 French film Street Flow, which seemed to be inspired by great movies on the subject of gang violence in the past, brings its own sensibility to the matter. It brings a spotlight to the social issue and makes the otherwise hidden political discourse really shine forth in matters like these. It isn’t a preachy political drama; quite the contrary, it is an exciting and yet somber crime drama, told through the life of the Traore brothers, who in a way represent the past, present, and future of French youth, especially those that are living in suburban areas, supported by welfare schemes by the government. Here’s a recap of Street Flow.

The rapid advancement of AI technology and all of its potential applications may offer an exciting, albeit somewhat daunting, future. However, when filmmaker Calvin Demba stumbled upon the concept of ‘relationship robots’ he found himself pondering the type of person who might purchase such a humanoid and to what ends. That train of thought culminated in his BFI Network backed directorial debut BabyDolls, which examines fragile male masculinity through the story of Billy (played by Frankie Wilson) whose inability to hold down a healthy relationship leads him to purchase a bot, falsely believing that he can continue to perpetuate his selfish and damaging behaviours without repercussions. Demba, an award winning actor and performer, has crafted a short where his protagonist’s self-justifying narration offers a tongue-in-cheek insight into the extremely questionable motivations which could led such a man to embark down this non-traditional road to, supposed, happiness. Ahead of the...
