21 Black Futures

21 Black Futures is a Canadian film and theatre project, broadcast by CBC Gem in 2021.[1] Created in conjunction with the Black Canadian theatre company Obsidian Theatre to mark both Black History Month and the 21st anniversary of Obsidian,[2] the project commissioned 21 short film adaptations of theatrical monologues on the theme of "the future of Blackness" by Black Canadian writers,[3] each performed by a Black actor on the stage of Meridian Hall in Toronto.[1]

The project was commissioned in part because the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada had prevented the staging of a traditional theatre festival.[1]

The project aired over three weeks in February 2021, with seven films premiering each week on February 12, 19 and 26.[4]
