JOY BOY - a tribute to Julius Eastman (2026, 62’)

Six filmmakers enter in conversation about the transcendent music, queer activism and vibrant black spirituality of Julius Eastman; creating a number of eclectic, interconnected film scenes and audio interludes. JOY BOY first came alive as a video-installation accompanying a live performance of Eastman’s music (2024). Since then, the project has continuously been transforming and now lives as a 5-channel installation (2025) and feature lenght film (2026).
