Cinema On Demand: Q's Barbershop (15*)

Chronic Youth 2020

—

A lighthearted and captivating insight into black masculinity in Denmark from a barber's chair.

Situated in the housing estate of Vollsmose, Denmark, Emil Langballe lends his camera to barbershop owner Qasim, a hardworking entrepreneur and community anchor. This intimate and warm hearted documentary paints the breadth of black masculinity with rich and vibrant colours.

It showcases the importance of community endeavours to survival and joy as the barbershop becomes a second home to local East African men of all ages.

We are delighted to welcome star of the film, Qasim Ahmed and London barbershop owner Peter Omo Atakpo (one of the consultants behind the award-winning National Theatre production Barber Shop Chronicles) for a live online Q&A at 7pm on Wed 7 Oct, hosted by Barbican Young Programmer, Ademola Bello.
