Singer and actress Shingai Shoniwa discusses Angela Bassett's performance in What's Love Got to Do with It?

To explore the icons that continue to inspire and light up our screens the BFI spoke to a group of Black Stars in their own right, turning the camera onto leaders in British arts and culture to find out who their BLACK STAR’s are. To include the talents making waves behind the camera a set of the UK’s brightest Black British filmmakers were set a creative brief to record the responses of these great cultural voices. The #MYBLACKSTAR film project was commissioned and produced by the BFI’s Tega Okiti.
