Programme:
A Place of Rage (1991, 54’) is one of Pratibha Parmar’s most celebrated works and brings together Angela Davis, June Jordan, Trinh T. Minh-ha and Alice Walker in a powerful meditation on political and artistic solidarities forged across feminist, anti-racist, decolonial struggles. Within the context of civil rights, black power, lesbian and gay rights and the global feminist movement, the formidable quartet assesses how black feminist thinking revolutionized American society, and the world generally at the time.
SARI RED (1988, 12’) is a video poem and a poetic memorial to Kalbinder Kaur Hayre, a young Indian woman killed in 1985 in a racist attack in England. The video breaks with ceinma’s ‘master codes’ by using culturally specific signs and symbols to create a mise-en-scene of loss and bereavement.
All films subtitled in Italian. The conversation will be in English.
