Frames: Our Stories Film Sit In is a Berlin-based screening series that presents over 15 hours of programming by Afro-diaspora filmmakers from around the world. It is notable for its free, RSVP-limited, community-centered format and for treating film screening as a form of cultural claiming of space for underrepresented stories in Berlin.
