The Diaspora Suite - Fluid Frontiers

Director: Ephraim Asili
Canada, USA, 2017, 23', HDD, color
English with Turkish subtitles

Ephraim Asili’s five-part series The Diaspora Suite is both a personal and global study of the African diaspora. Created over the course of seven years, every film in the series has a unique rhythm built around a specific amalgam of footage shot in American and international locations — each an important site within the African diaspora.

Fluid Frontiers is the fifth and final film in the series entitled The Diaspora Suite, exploring Asili’s personal relationship to the African Diaspora.
