IWOW: I Walk on Water

Khalik Allah, 2020, 200 min., United States 

The new film from Khalik Allah, director of Black Mother. A radical perspective that shifts focus from the idea of separateness to oneness. This film was recorded over several intense months during the Summer of 2019 in Harlem NY, Brussels, and Haarlem, Netherlands. A film of formlessness out of the norm. The first film from this director this long. A more spiritual cinematic vision. And a continuation of tradition of polyphonic portraiture with something like a full album for a score.

“...there is no denying that Allah has a formidable talent for capturing character and image alike, many of the shots having a richness, rawness and intensity of texture that make IWOW feel like a photo gallery exhibition come alive, in the very best sense.” - Jonathan Romney

Followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Khalik Allah
