This is quite the set of Afrofuturist and sci-fi shorts! (I'm sure I've missed some.)
Between this, and the feature-length offerings (Space Is the Place, The Brother From Another Planet, The Last Angel of History, Crumbs, the two Adirley Queiros films) I'm surprised they didn't curate them as an actual collection. Maybe that's coming later?

the email announcing the december movies started "As the year draws to an end, we’re turning our gaze toward things to come, with an international, intergalactic program of Afrofuturist visions of Black creativity, resistance, and freedom" so it will be a collection

I'm curious as to whether Space is the Place is the original or director's cut version.

xp Yeah, I went and looked at the email after I posted that (they go to my spam, lol) and from there to the December calendar -- looks like the Afrofuturist collection 'premieres' on the 20th, which I assume means the introduction and any other interview packages will go live then.

Is there a predictable timeline as to when a film reissued by Criterion goes onto the Criterion Channel? I didn't realize that An Unmarried Woman was rereleased this past June. I have the channel, so if possible, I'd like to avoid the cost of a DVD
― clemenza, Monday, 7 December 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
Some films enter the permanent streaming library almost immediately, some get added for 1, 2 or 3 month engagements, some don't get added at all. So, no, no predictable timeline.

EXLCUSIVE STREAMING PREMIERE
Park LanesDirected by Kevin Jerome Everson • 2015 • United States
Kevin Jerome Everson’s monument of durational cinema immerses viewers in the inner workings of a factory that produces bowling-alley equipment—a full eight-hour workday experienced in real time. Entrancing, meditative, and totally enveloping, PARK LANES unfolds according to the rhythms and rituals of the workers whose shifts it patiently documents, their quotidian tasks taking on a profound significance.

Hm
The abstraction of each of these workers’ components actually permits us, Everson, and even possibly the workers themselves, to regard these objects from a certain aesthetic distance. The man who is busily fitting lug-nuts at metallic shafts together in uncertain configurations seems to be solving a problem rather than following a lock-step set of orders, and as we watch him put pieces together and take them apart, it looks quite a bit like Jude Law assembling the gristle gun in Cronenberg’s eXistenZ (1999).

i recommend jules dassin's 'uptight' (1968), streaming as part of the ruby dee collection on CC now. the film transposes the plot of john ford's 'the informer' to a black revolutionary cell in cleveland in 1968, in the days following MLK's assassination (the film opens with dassin's own footage of his funeral in memphis). dee and julian mayfield, who stars as the stool pigeon, co-wrote the screenplay with dassin.
