A list of films labeled afrofuturism... that label or its definition is not standardized, but all of these films involve science fiction elements and black characters. 
Great list https://www.criterionchannel.com/afrofuturism

My issue is the criterion collection made its own streaming situation and it isn't everywhere, again, the problem with streamers is they have all these paid services and well, I Am not paying for all these services. I know this is a film group but I think beinsports has it right, streaming services must be free and paid for through commercialing in the future, the fragmented cable model for streaming services is dysfunctional

Afrofuturism
Coined in 1994 by critic Mark Dery, the term “Afrofuturism” has become an essential framework for art about imagined and alternative Black experiences. As the author Ytasha Womack writes, “Afrofuturism combines elements of science fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, Afrocentricity, and magic realism with non-Western beliefs.” Afrofuturist ideas have found fertile ground in film, and this expansive series takes viewers on an international, intergalactic journey that stretches back long before the term existed, and far into the future. Spanning animation, documentary, and genre spectacle, these exuberant visions of Black creativity, resistance, and freedom zigzag across the African diaspora from New York to Brasilia to Kinshasa to worlds unknown. Curated by Ashley Clark, the series draws together films from Space is the Place: Afrofuturism on Film, which took place at Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2015; a sequel planned for 2020 that was canceled due to the pandemic; and a selection of all-new titles, many of them available for streaming for the first time.
