At a conference I attended last year a recent short film by John Sealey was shown which might be of interest, reflecting on 'blackness in Europe' during World War 2. As far as I'm aware John is an amateur film-maker, but it's an interesting, powerful, and at times amusing reflection on these themes. Whilst mainly in foreign languages, the film is sub-titled. It can be found online at the following link:

Any suggestions?
I was wondering if you could recommend any English-language films from the
last few years, which you think does a good job of addressing the "Black"
presence in contemporary Europe. It doesn't really matter which countries,
but those that address either the U.K., France, Germany, Italy and/or Spain
are of particular interest. One of my colleagues and I are planning on
having an event next month which focuses upon Africans ("Blacks") in Europe
between the early 20th century to the present. Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
