Burning an Illusion is a 1981 British film written and directed by Menelik Shabazz, about a young British-born black woman's love life, mostly shot in London's Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove communities.[1] It was only the second British feature to have been made by a black director, following Horace Ové’s 1975 Pressure,[2][3] and is described by Stephen Bourne as "the first British film to give a black woman a voice of any kind."[4] Imruh Bakari worked with Shabazz and co-founded Kumba Productions with him. Burning an Illusion is notable for breaking the tradition of placing white males at the centre of the story. It is also unique in prioritizing the personal drama of black woman over the socio-economic and political conflicts traditionally associated with such films. As Ade Solanke writes: "Like all drama, the film is about characters facing conflicts. But unlike most dramas about black people up till then, for most of the story it dramatises personal conflicts, not socio-economic or political ones."[1]It is available at the British Film Institute.[5] Main cast members
