This small selection is the tip of the iceberg of a wide range of documentary films from accomplished directors from the African continent. In addition to their skill and filmmaking styles, the value of the films lay in the filmmakers own expression of their cultures and stories that are both surprising and revealing – effectively engaging the viewer.
Two films, very different in style - Angele Diabang’s short Mon Beau Sourire (My Beautiful Smile) and Andrew Dosunmu’s documentary Hot Irons -remind us of the rich and diverse repository of work that redefine beauty. The films are particularly topical because they both relate to the recurrent commentaries and expressions of identity that take place across the continent and in the African diaspora.
Mon Beau Sourire (My Beautiful Smile) by Angèle Diabang Brener
Have You Heard From Johannesburg is the epic seven part documentary chronicling the history of the global anti-apartheid movement that took on South Africa’s entrenched apartheid regime.
From September 22 to October 13, one episode will screen on consecutive Wednesdays @ 7PM, with FREE ADMISSION, at the First Unitarian Church at 2125 Chestnut St. Each screening will be followed by a panel and audience discussion.
Join us on November 16 at the International House for the seventh and final episode, Free At Last, in which South Africans tell the story of the most important effort in the anti-apartheid campaign of the 80’s: the alliance that brought together freedom fighters in South Africa as never before. Director Connie Field will be in person for this screening! MORE INFO
