Reel Sisters Panels: Colorful Dialogues with Directors
9th Annual Women’s Film Festival Addresses Issues & Images

Brooklyn, NY (February 2006) ¯ Independent film-lovers from across the tri-state area will gather to witness stimulating panel discussions on March 10 and 11th, when Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival and Lecture Series celebrates nine years as an outlet for women of color filmmakers from around the world. The Brooklyn-based showcase returns to Long Island University, with screenings at the beautifully renovated Kumble Theater, the Spike Lee Screening Room and the Alumni Theater. (Enter the campus at Dekalb and Flatbush Avenues.) This year’s theme is “Jump at de Sun: A Cinematic Tribute to Zora Neale Hurston.”

Along with a roster of more than 30 features and shorts, the Festival, co-sponsored by African Voices magazine and LIU’s Media Arts Department, will offer opportunities to dialogue with directors and network with other film enthusiasts while enjoying a roster of panels comprised of industry and indie veterans, critics and film scholars.

SATURDAY, MARCH 11

“Moving Images: The Shifting Image of Black Women in Film”

This year’s Power Panel reflects Zora's ability to view the past and present in a cyclical manner. Women of color have been exploitatively portrayed since the dawn of American cinema. There was a supposed improvement in this portrayal with the new wave of Black filmmaking in the ‘80s and ‘90s. But was progress really made or was there merely a reinforcement of old images, i.e., the “video ho,” sex kittens and “castrating Black female”? This panel will explore the ways in which women of color have been portrayed in the past and focus a critical lens on the present.

Jacquie Jones (Moderator),
Panel Members: Thulani Davis, Julie Dash, Joan Morgan

“Revisiting Eatonville: Translating Zora’s Images to Film”

A prominent panel of filmmakers, scholars and writers will discuss the impact of Zora Neale Hurston’s work on film and literature. The conversation will explore the “value” of Oprah Winfrey’s world premiere of “Their Eyes Were Watching God” and how future filmmakers can elevate and translate Zora’s artistry to a film audience.

Panel Members: Elaine Charnov, Kristy Andersen, Booker T. Mattison

“Writing in a Cultural Context”

Many characters portrayed by actors of color are only incidentally Black/Latino/Asian because there is nothing that culturally defines them. They exist in a vacuum devoid of familial ties and friendships that ground them in race, creed or color. To create characters without cultural context is engaging merely in non-traditional casting. Stock characters are palatable to "mainstream" audiences because they don' t challenge their perspectives or sensibilities. ‘Sure he's Black, but not really Black…’ – the Will Smith syndrome. Or inversely, the characters are so stereotypically depicted that they're two-dimensional archetypes that are easily referenced i.e., the hot-tempered Latino/a, the “brainiac” Asian and the Black mama on the couch types. The challenge is to write three-dimensional characters with full-fledged lives, but is that commercially viable?

Panel Members: Esther Iverem, Tina Andrews, Greg Tate

“Supporting Your Dream: Where are the Arts Patrons Today?”

Presented by: Independent Television Video Service (ITVS) & Women Make Movies

Zora Neale Hurston died broke, but she had a few patrons who sponsored her writings, research and education throughout her career. This Reel Sisters workshop will identify some of the public and private funding available to filmmakers. Guests will include foundation leaders, grant-makers and other funders.

Moderator: Michelle Coe

The Lecture Series is just a part of a power-packed weekend of film and film-related events, including a Gala Awards Ceremony honoring filmmaker Julie dash (Daughters of the Dust) and biographer Lucy Anne Hurston (Zora’s niece), a Screenplay Competition Reading, and a “Hattitude” millinery fashion show and audience event in Hurston’s honor. Visit www.reelsisters.org or call 718.488.1052 or 212.865.2982 for information or tickets. Weekend or single –day passes are available (a full day of screenings is only $20), as are student, senior and group prices. To get to the LIU campus, take the B,M, Q or R trains to Dekalb Ave. or the 2,3,4 or 5 trains to Nevins Street.

Besides oil, cloth-making is one of Nigeria's most important technical activity.

Heloise, our travel buyer just returned from a trip to Cairo, Egypt; Kano, Nigeria; Lagos, Nigeria and Calabar, Nigeria with musical instruments, table-top accessories and fabric. These items are now on our shelves in our store and are seeking good homes.

Her travels spurred ideas from a series of our customers. They asked if we could organize a tour to these 2 countries this summer. We are thinking about it and here's what we are exploring:

6 days in Cairo with 2 day shopping in the largets market and 2 day tour of the city and 2 days in NUBIA - just added
4 days in Kano with 2 day shopping in the largets market and 2 day tour of the city

About Kano: Kano is popular for its traditional arts and cracts, including leather work, weaving, pottery and wood carving. They can be found at the largest market in West Africa - Kurmi Market. Sites to see include the Emir's Palace, Baturiya Birds Estuary, the ancient city walls and gates, first build about 900 years ago, Gidan Makaman Museum, Kofar Mata Dyeing pits (believed to be the oldest in Africa), Kano Zoological Garden at Gankum Albaba, Kazaure Rock Ranges and the famous Tiga Dam (and Bagauda Lake Hotel)

Hazelle Goodman Live at here arts

2005-12-09T17:49:00.000-05:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Trinidad & Tobago born comedian Hazelle Goodman is back on stage. This performance is billed “Live!” For the holiday season, Goodman has decided to gift wrap two performances “To The Top Top Top” and “On Edge” as a special present to all her fans. “Come laugh your heads off as these two great shows collide,” says Goodman.
Written and performed by Goodman and directed by Jamaican Vernice Miller “Live” takes place at the HERE Arts Center, 145 Sixth Avenue, between Spring & Broome Streets, Manhattan, and only on Tuesdays, from December 6 to Tuesday January 10th from 7PM. “This could be one of the best gifts you can give a friend,” laughs Goodman. For tickets www.here.org or call 212 868-4444.
For those of you who don’t know, Goodman is a one- woman powerhouse! Her unique ability to transform into many different characters has propelled her to the forefront as a multi-dimensional actress. Featured in Vogue, People and Vibe magazines, her self-titled HBO Special received unprecedented ratings and was nominated for two Cable Ace Awards–Best Comedy Special and Best Performer.
Among her many credits, Goodman starred opposite Woody Allen in Deconstructing Harry in the ground breaking role of Cookie, as the diva, drug lord, Georgia Rae Mahoney on NBC’s Homicide and as the savvy attorney, “Lynette Neal” on ABC’s All My Children. Her Shakespearean debut as the Queen, in the Public Theater’s production of Cymbeline, won her rave reviews!
Goodman also joined Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close and others at Madison Square Garden in a moving performance of the Vagina Monologues. She was last seen as Evelda Drumgo in the block buster film, Hannibal with Anthony Hopkins.
In addition to her busy schedule, she has created an Art & Spirit volunteer program for the inmates of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. She has also established a life long scholarship fund at The City College of New York in honor of slain African immigrant Amadou Diallo – The Amadou Diallo Criminal Justice Award.
Ms. Goodman was recently honored by Manhattan Borough President, C. Virginia Fields for her outstanding contributions in film and television.

Kwanzaa, from the Swahili for “first fruits,” is an African-American cultural holiday that celebrates family and community. Observed from December 26 through January 1, it is based on the agricultural celebrations of Africa and reinforces the Nguzo Saba, or the Seven Principles: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity), and Imani (faith).

Celebrate Kwanzaa over three days with festivities for the entire family, including performances, workshops, a marketplace, and Kwanzaa culinary delights.

The Museum is located at 79th Street and Central Park West and is easily reached by public transportation. The main entrance to the Rose Center for Earth and Space is located at 81st Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.
