Safiyah Chiniere is a self-taught filmmaker and cinematographer whose work is grounded in the spaces between those whose stories we tell and those we don’t. Safiyah brings the stories of women, people of color, queer people, to the fore, and most often, Safiyah’s subject matters exists at the intersection of all three. The specific space of her subject matter gives Safiyah firm footing to develop a visual style necessary to operate within the fertile interior spaces of these communities. Safiyah presents a stimulating and refreshing approach to capturing the faces, bodies, and various expressions of intimacy; slowing down the pacing and magnifying spaces to highlight that which is so often overlooked, dismissed, or delegitimize, all while maintaining her wholehearted and sincere storytelling.
