William Earl After being pulled from the Sundance lineup and returned within a matter of days, “Blknws: Terms & Conditions” debuted at Park City on Monday morning.

Director Kahlil Joseph was on hand to introduce the film, welcomed by Sundance senior programmer Shari Frilot. “He was here just as the world was about to change in 2019, to present Blknws in various venues as a kind of broadcast TV news intervention project.

Now, as the world is about to change again, Blknws has manifested as this visionary feature film that is singularly unique and really offers medicine for our times,” Frilot said, describing Joseph as a “tenacious, unstoppable artist.” Joseph kept his opening remarks brief, thanking the audience for attending the early morning screening at the Egyptian Theatre, which was about three-quarters full and well-attended, given the early start time and late re-addition to the schedule.

The filmmaker shouted out his mother and daughter in the audience and encouraged attendees to stick around for the post-screening Q&A.
