Kordae Jatafa Henry (Tafa) is a filmmaker and visual artist exploring the intersections of biomythology, technology, and ecological memory. Rooted in his Jamaican-British heritage, his work blends live-action, CGI, and sound design to build immersive, speculative worlds. His previous works include Earth Mother, Sky Father and Delicate Limbs, exhibited at Venice Biennale, MAK Vienna, and Prix Ars Electronica. Buffalo Tears is his first feature-length film, currently being developed through a residency with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Music Center in Los Angeles.
