LISTENING ALL NIGHT TO THE RAIN

Dir. John Akomfrah Prod. Smoking Dogs Films 2024 UK

'Listening All Night To the Rain' is a series of six screens film-installations directed by John Akomfrah for the British Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale.

Drawing title inspiration from Chinese poet Su Dongpo, the exhibition weaves together narratives of migration, discrimination, and environmental impact. It pays homage to marginalized voices, including the Windrush generation, and reflects on pivotal moments in colonial and post-colonial history.

‘Listening All Night To the Rain’ is a deeply immersive exploration of diasporic experiences in Britain, interconnecting cultural identity, history and environmental issues.

I worked on the edit of the of the different films installation focusing mainly on the edit of Canto IV and V.
