Maya Cade launched Black Film Archive in 2021 , at a “moment when people were demanding the full totality of our lives to be represented in media, they felt as if Black Film could not hold the capacity for Blackness” Cade says people were missing a larger context to the issues at hand.

The archive features more than 300 films released between 1898 to 1999 , with each title available to stream online.

In the last 10 years , we have moved away from the internet as a service to the internet of things.

There’s so much on the internet that would crumble if the Internet Archive or Wikipedia falls. That's a threat to many people because, ultimately, when you control the flow of knowledge, you control everything. We should be thinking about independent models that existed before our current current media.
