| Abstract | This chapter is based on a panel discussion with Ashley Clark, Ozlem Koksal and Clive Nwonka, chaired by Richard Martin, at the Black Film British Cinema II conference at the ICA on 19 May 2017. The chapter discusses selected films by Steve McQueen, one of the most celebrated Black British film directors of all time, and the only person to have won both the Turner Prize (in 1999) and an Academy Award (in 2014, for 12 Years a Slave). The chapter is looking closely at Hunger (2008), Shame (2011) and 12 Years a Slave (2013) and. In so doing aims to create space for the kind of close reading and formal analysis of Black cinema which has too often been neglected. |
