Journalist and broadcaster Ellen E Jones discusses the power of screen storytelling in defeating racism and promoting social equality

Screen Deep goes beyond the many film books and anti-racist manuals by demonstrating the connection between these two aspects of modern life. Ellen E Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask - and answer - several questions: Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western? Is race comedy 'cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most importantly: can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?Ellen E Jones is a journalist and broadcaster. She is the co-host of Screenshot, the BBC's flagship film and TV programme, the host of the Barbican's ScreenTalks podcast and writes regularly on film and television for the Guardian and Empire magazine. Her writing has been published in a wide variety of other outlets, including NME, The Times, Sunday Times, Radio Times and National Geographic.Stephen Blakemore opened ‘Paradiso’ in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter in 2018. He wanted to share his passion: for cinema, for film and, especially, for the art of the film poster.
