Black World Partners

Key Partner Organisations

Necessary Journeys

Arts Council England
Still: Borderline

Necessary Journeys took its cue from the BFI's Black World initiative, and explored the ways in which art connects with film and the moving image.

Discovery and transformation lay at the heart of the projects, allowing artists and audiences the opportunity to make their own personal investigations. These projects illuminated the breadth and talent of artists working across a range of artforms.

The final event in the programme, the performance of Courtney Pine's new score for the film Borderline took place at Tate Modern on Sunday 28 May 2006.
