“The words left his lips like rain… like the breaking of light, for how does one mend light that shatters?”
Wonderful story by @somtoihezue.bsky.social & @penprince.bsky.social about a son leaving his people to solve supernatural murders in a high-tech city. One of many amazing Sauútiverse stories.

People! Young independent Nigerian filmmakers (including the excellent @somtoihezue.bsky.social) are making a speculative short about book bans, discrimination, censorship, protest & resistance.
They need our support.

We are looking for contributions addressing the experiences of BIPOC authors, editors, and other science fiction, fantasy, and horror publishing industry participants, so firsthand knowledge of them will be extremely helpful.

Won’t be a BOOK film without books📚 So grateful to these authors for coming aboard. “On Our Skin” is a film where books are banned, and students face repercussions for reading censored books. In defiance, the words appear on the bodies of students. More book titles coming soon!!

Delighted to be able to! I've definitely had to cut back on such things as kickstarters, but I've been waiting for something cool and interesting to come to my attention to be able to spread a bit of support around. Very happy it was this!

Thank you!!! Book bans and the censorship of knowledge are universal concepts, but using Nsibidi scripts was our way of bringing it home. It's ancient and not so easily transcribed, but we are grateful to have pulled it off! Here are images from our film set.
