Recommendation: Harlem Week Black Film Festival 7/28 - 8/11 — 2 years ago
hey, now.
this is their 19th annual exhibition that showcases rare, indie and seldom screened black cinema—over 30 films this year. there are 17 programs and most of them are double features. here’s a sample:
Sat., July 29 ( Program #2 o 3 films )
RICHARD WRIGHT-Black Boy, 1994, 86 min. Madison Lacy, dir. The first film on the life and legacy of Richard Wright who confronted a broad reading pubic with the pain and anger of the Black experience. Shown at 1:00pm, 4:10pm
FRANTZ FANON: Black Skin, White Mask, 1995, 50 min. Isaac Julien, dir. Explores one of the most influential theorists of the anti-colonial movement of our century. Shown at 2:30pm
EL CHE: Investigating A Legend, 1997, 52 min. Maurice Dugowson, dir. Che Guevara, the man with the beret with the star, embodies one of the strongest symbols of the 20th century. He was a combination of a saint and an adventurer; somewhere between Don Quixote and a latter-day Jesus Christ. In his relations with Fidel Castro, he is the hero of a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Shown at 3:20pm
the kicker? it’s only five bucks!
