  • GRAAT On-Line Occasional Papers - August 2019
    GRAAT On-Line Occasional Papers - August 2019 Story of a Life: A Conversation with William Melvin Kelley Yannick Blec Université Paris 8 Vincennes Saint-Denis In September 2011, I sent an interview request to William Melvin Kelley, a long- forgotten African American writer many had judged too progressive—or not radical enough1. He was delighted that a French PhD candidate was dedicating his dissertation to his works. When I explained that my work was focusing on the existential and phenomenological stance in his writing, he, in turn, clarified the fact that he did not have these kinds of thoughts when he wrote, but that he had been writing out of the urgency of his blackness in the USA and so as to, since most of his books were published in the 1960s, obtain civil rights. In November 2018, his first novel, A Different Drummer, was reissued by Riverrun in Great Britain and it has since been published in several countries and in different languages. This happened after Kathryn Schulz published her article “The Lost Giant of American Literature” in the January 29, 2018 issue of The New Yorker. Interest in this “lost” novelist was reaffirmed and the world has since then been rediscovering his mastery of forms and the power of his prose. The following interview is an eight-hour conversation that I had with Kelley in his home in Harlem, in February 2012, five years before he passed away at the age of 79. He highlights the link that exists between his stories and his life; a thin thread that is important to understand the contexts in which he wrote, and his state of mind on the black experience in the USA.

  • Filmfest DC Catalog
    WELCOME TO FILMFEST DC 2016! Welcome to the 30th annual Washington, DC International Film Festival. Come see great movies! 75 films • 45 countries • 6 screens • 11 days • 1 festival In 1998, Filmfest DC presented Windhorse, Paul Wagner’s film about China’s mistreatment of Tibetan citizens. The Chinese government tried to convince us not to show it. We replied, “No, we will not be bullied into political censorship.” A Washington Post editorial acknowledged festival leaders for their “artistic backbone.” In 1999, The Washington Post wrote, “…The festival has grown into a respected player in the rarefied world of movie celebrations….” And last year, Washington City Paper said, “Filmfest DC promises to deliver a true festival experience, creating an inclusivity that filmgoers will feel beyond opening and closing night galas.” We believe Filmfest DC has made a difference. Movie stars like Charlize Theron, John Malkovich, Peter Bogdanovich, Gabriel Byrne, Amitabh Bachchan (India’s biggest movie star), Morgan Freeman, Cicely Tyson, Sydney Pollack, Oliver Platt, Edward James Olmos, Kelly McGillis, and others have attended Filmfest DC and interacted with our audience. A 30th anniversary is an opportunity to appreciate all that’s been accomplished. No organization flourishes this long without the assistance of many generous people. We are more appreciative than ever for the contributions of our board, sponsors, patrons, volunteers, businesses, and diplomatic community. Thank you! Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Chad Evans Photo: It has truly been a gift to create and share this platform for celebrating the works of the world’s filmmakers, both established masters and young talent. With passion, humor, and integrity, they bring their stories to our Tony Gittens, Festival Director, and Shirin Ghareeb, Deputy Director festival.
