It came from a land down under . . . From the early seventies through the mideighties, a resurgence of government funding for national film production gave birth to a generation of brave, unconventional new voices who made Australia the home to a brief but bright-burning cinematic renaissance. Among the filmmakers who emerged from this artistic flowering were pivotal figures like Peter Weir, George Miller, Gillian Armstrong, Bruce Beresford, Fred Schepisi, and Phillip Noyce, many of whom went on to successful international careers. Encompassing subversive visions of Australian history (PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK, MY BRILLIANT CAREER), dystopian science-fiction cult classics (MAD MAX, THE CARS THAT ATE PARIS), groundbreaking coming-of-age dramas (THE DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND, PUBERTY BLUES), and beyond, these formally bold, thematically provocative films delved into the intricacies of Australian society and identity with newfound fearlessness. Among their most urgent concerns was for the country’s relationship to and mistreatment of its Indigenous people, as seen in works like THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH, WALKABOUT, STORM BOY, and THE LAST WAVE, the last three of which all star legendary Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil, who stands as one of the movement’s most enduring faces.

I would bet real f-olding money that it will be.

This is quite the set of Afrofuturist and sci-fi shorts! (I'm sure I've missed some.)
Between this, and the feature-length offerings (Space Is the Place, The Brother From Another Planet, The Last Angel of History, Crumbs, the two Adirley Queiros films) I'm surprised they didn't curate them as an actual collection. Maybe that's coming later?

the email announcing the december movies started "As the year draws to an end, we’re turning our gaze toward things to come, with an international, intergalactic program of Afrofuturist visions of Black creativity, resistance, and freedom" so it will be a collection

I'm curious as to whether Space is the Place is the original or director's cut version.

xp Yeah, I went and looked at the email after I posted that (they go to my spam, lol) and from there to the December calendar -- looks like the Afrofuturist collection 'premieres' on the 20th, which I assume means the introduction and any other interview packages will go live then.

Wow, Space is the Place! I've never been able to find a copy of that

Is there a predictable timeline as to when a film reissued by Criterion goes onto the Criterion Channel? I didn't realize that An Unmarried Woman was rereleased this past June. I have the channel, so if possible, I'd like to avoid the cost of a DVD
― clemenza, Monday, 7 December 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
Some films enter the permanent streaming library almost immediately, some get added for 1, 2 or 3 month engagements, some don't get added at all. So, no, no predictable timeline.
― Motoroller Scampotron (WmC), Monday, 7 December 2020 22:16 (three years ago) link
Thanks--I'll give it till the new year, and if it's not up by then I'll buy it.
