March 18th 6.45pm Midlands Arts Centre, Brum https://macbirmingham.co.uk/event/the-psychosis-of-whiteness April 11th and 13th 7pm Bernie Grants Arts Centre, London www.berniegrantcentre.co.uk/see/film-the-psychosis-of-whiteness/<https://www.berniegrantcentre.co.uk/see/film-the-psychosis-of-whiteness/> The Psychosis of Whiteness sheds light on society's perceptions of race and racism by exploring cinematic representations of the slave trade. This documentary takes an in-depth look at big budget films that focus on the transatlantic slave trade and, using a wealth of sources and interviews, it argues that these depictions are metaphoric hallucinations about race. Rather than blaming the powerful institutions that are responsible for slavery, these films rewrite history by praising those same institutions for abolishing the slave trade.
