  • Haile Gerima: an African Film Master. by Ntongela Masilela I Would Like to Begin by Expressing My Gratitude in Being Invited By
    Untitled Document Haile Gerima: An African Film Master. by Ntongela Masilela I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude in being invited by the Intercollegiate Department of Black Studies (IDBS) here at the Claremont Colleges, or better still, the Africana Studies, to introduce Haile Gerima in today's proceedings. Haile Gerima is previleging us here at the Claremont Colleges by showing us tonight his newest film, Adwa: An African Victory (1999), which will be having an official U. S. Premier opening next week-end in Washington, D. C. Please note I say openly and publicly in an open forum Haile Gerima without any formalities of any kind. Even though Haile Gerima is a very brilliant thinker and has been an outstanding Professor of Film Studies at Howard University for the last twenty-five years or so, I would like to banish formal etiquettes when referring to him tonight. We do not say Professor Karl Marx or Dr. Frantz Fanon or Mr. Richard Wright or Ms. Toni Morrison when we refer to great figures in intellectual and cultural history. We just say Karl Marx, Toni Morrison, Richard Wright, Frantz Fanon in order to get immediately into the heart of the matter or into the nitty-gritty concerning their singular and unique contribution to human thought or to measure their civilizational activity. Their greatness does not require formal appendages for its understanding or appreciation or designation. This is likewise the same concerning Haile Gerima whom I take to be a great artist, a monumental figure, and simply a colossus. The second reason for dispensing with formalities tonight is that I have known Haile Gerima for approximately thirty years: from our students days at UCLA in the very early 1970s to our present brotherly friendship today.

From Sergei Eisenstein’s epic restaging of the October revolution as an unequivocally popular upsurge to what T Timothy Garton Ash called the real-time “telerevolutions” (1990, 90) that accompanied the collapse of communism, screens, large and small, have played critical roles in efffecting, amplifying, and mythologizing radical ruptures in the status quo. The Ethiopian revolution of 1974 is rarely remembered for anything more than ushering in a violent Marxist military dictatorship, led by Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam and the Derg (“committee”) on whose hands the blood of many thousands of Ethiopians remains. Without forgetting the great darkness that clouds the years between 1974 and 1991, it is, nonetheless, important to examine the revolution as more than simply a tale of oppression and of late Cold War maneuvering. It is the contention of this chapter, and of my broader research into Ethiopian artistic practice in the 1970s and 1980s, that the creation, dissemination, and provocation of images was at the heart of the break with the imperial tradition and that moving images, in particular, both dealt a seminal blow to the waning authority of Emperor Haile Selassie and shaped the subsequent course of the revolution. | 45 46 | Kate Cowcher Those familiar with the events in Addis Ababa in 1974 will know that the name Jonathan Dimbleby is synonymous with the emperor’s fall.

  • Defending Black Imagination the “LA Rebellion”
    1 MUSEUM DIGITAL ARCHIVE NOW DIG THIS! ART & BLACK LOS ANGELES 1960–1980 Defending Black Imagination The “L.A. Rebellion” School of Black Filmmakers JACQUELINE STEWART Artists always think we’re in danger. —Varnette Honeywood in Varnette’s World: A Study of a Young Artist (dir. Carroll Parrott Blue, 1980) It is not called “show art,” we are frequently reminded, but “show business.” Artists everywhere have struggled with the complex relations that obtain between creative expression, material necessity, and the market. But for artists working in the entertainment capital of the world, the stakes would seem to be especially high either to reject the aesthetic and business models exemplified by Hollywood or to assimilate them. For Los Angeles–based artists who are black, furthermore, the complex legacy of black performance (so aggressively confined to modes aimed at pleasing white audiences) complicates efforts to be taken seriously as creative agents and to develop affirming creative practices that are financially sustainable, let alone autonomous. This essay describes some of the ways in which a group of emerging black artists in Los Angeles in the 1970s navigated the show/art/business divides while working in Hollywood’s own medium of film. These filmmakers generated a body of work that reflects and reflects upon the ongoing difficulties of maintaining black creative voices in L.A.’s particular political and industrial climates. In developing their own cinematic voices in an academic environment outside of the dominant film industry, they posited that black creativity is not frivolous or secondary to political change but fundamental to any attempt to restore and preserve the well- being of black individuals and communities.

After Anberber spends several years in Germany studying medicine, he returns to Ethiopia only to find the country of his youth replaced by turmoil. His dream of using his craft to improve the health of Ethiopians is squashed by a military junta that uses scientists for their own political ends. Seeking the comfort of his countryside home, Anberber finds no shelter from violence. The solace that the memories of his youth provide is quickly replaced by the competing forces of the military and rebelling factions. Anberber must determine if he can bear the strain or piece together a life from the fragments that lay around him.

To evade the larger world, Anberber, the principal character of Teza, retreats to the land of his childhood – even if that becomes the ultimate end of his existence.

  • Final Thesis for Submission.Pdf
    RENEGOTIATING RESISTANCE: AFRICAN DIASPORA FILM AND THE DISCOURSE OF THIRD CINEMA A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Professional Studies by Jamicia Evette Lackey May 2007 © 2007 Jamicia Evette Lackey ABSTRACT Emerging out of the context of the tricontinental revolution of the 1950s and 1960s, Third Cinema refers to a host of film practices from Latin America, Africa and Asia with the political intent of the decolonization of culture. For contemporary filmmakers and critics, however, the discourse of Third Cinema cannot be easily applied to contemporary times and contexts. In this thesis, I attempt to reconcile the discourse of Third Cinema with contemporary African diaspora film practices in a renegotiation of cinematic resistance. Proceeding from Gilles Deleuze’s theory that the evolution of cinema from classical to modern materialized out of the historic rupture produced by World War II, my thesis locates another rupture in the dissonance between Third Cinema and contemporary African diasporic filmmaking. The lingering effects of neo-colonialism and the process of globalization have rendered older categories to describe the world inadequate, and filmmakers all over the world are actively engaged in decentering the grand narratives of Western and Third Cinemas. Because this deconstructive process is most often associated with the diasporic condition by postcolonial theorists, I argue that a “diasporic turn” has occurred
