BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions Premieres at Sundance After Acquisition

Kahlil Joseph's film 'Blknws: Terms & Conditions' has made a triumphant return to the Sundance Film Festival lineup after being pulled by its original financier, Participant Media, over a dispute regarding an unauthorized cut of the film. The film was acquired by James Shani's Rich Spirit, allowing it to screen at the festival. Sundance expressed its excitement about the movie's inclusion, highlighting its innovative nature and the hard work of the filmmaking team. Joseph and producer Onye Anyanwu thanked Participant for relinquishing ownership, emphasizing the importance of sharing their work with audiences after years of effort. The film's reinstatement also sets the stage for its international premiere at the Berlin Film Festival next month. This development follows a tumultuous period marked by Participant's financial struggles and a change in the movie's backing.
