An epic sequel to the iconic and groundbreaking BLACK PANTHER (2018), director Ryan Coogler’s BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) tackled the task of addressing the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman – telling its tale with thoughtful empathy that welcomed audiences and the characters themselves into the mourning process. Starring AFI Honorary Degree recipient Angela Bassett, the film’s lush and vibrant visuals were brought to life by cinematographer – and AFI Alum – Autumn Durald Arkapaw (AFI Class of 2009), three years before she would become the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Cinematography for her work on Coogler’s SINNERS (2025).
