#BlackBoyJoyGone:

Realise LIVERPOOL

BlackFest 2023
Proudly Presents:  #BlackBoyJoyGone: realise LIVERPOOL
Tues 26th Sept
Unity Theatre
7pm

We’re never ‘too far gone’ to seek help and heal our wounds!

This year we are creating a hybrid event combining Theatre and Independent Film. 

Blending interviews, poetry, dance and storytelling, 2023 Grierson Awards shortlisted #BlackBoyJoyGone shares the hopeful perspectives of UK Black men who experienced mental illness, sexual trauma, and find strength through brotherhood.

Directed and created by Ashley Karrell and Isaac Ouro-Gnao, #BlackBoyJoyGone: realise is about expanding the conversations. Our shortlist 4 new Liverpool, commissioned black male artists will premiere alongside the film to tell stories of lived experiences, provoke public discussion, support collective healing, and celebrate Black men’s lives.
