Through moving images, he explores the same themes from a new medium and brings contemporary African stories to life in a more immersive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/block-buttons\" class=\"align\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 md:gap-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n<a\n\tclass=\"group btn btn-secondary  \"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sethidg?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;amp;igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<span data-button-text>\n\t\t\tSethi\u2019s Instagram\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"transition-transform duration-300 group-hover:rotate-45 group-focus-visible:rotate-45 flex items-center justify-center w-[1em] h-[1em] icon group-expanded:hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M14.667 2.386v9.122a1.053 1.053 0 0 1-2.105 0V4.93l-9.43 9.428a1.054 1.054 0 1 1-1.49-1.491l9.429-9.429H4.493a1.052 1.052 0 0 1 0-2.105h9.121a1.053 1.053 0 0 1 1.053 1.053Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/block-buttons\" class=\"align\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 md:gap-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\n<a\n\tclass=\"group btn btn-secondary  \"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.sethidg.com\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<span data-button-text>\n\t\t\tSethi\u2019s website \n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"transition-transform duration-300 group-hover:rotate-45 group-focus-visible:rotate-45 flex items-center justify-center w-[1em] h-[1em] icon group-expanded:hidden\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M14.667 2.386v9.122a1.053 1.053 0 0 1-2.105 0V4.93l-9.43 9.428a1.054 1.054 0 1 1-1.49-1.491l9.429-9.429H4.493a1.052 1.052 0 0 1 0-2.105h9.121a1.053 1.053 0 0 1 1.053 1.053Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Octavie (she\/they)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though grounded in an analysis-heavy background \u2014 including research into lesbian authorship and representation in film \u2014 Octavie believes that today films best reach their audiences through accessible community-driven approaches, led by curiosity and aesthetics often found in online (pop) culture.
