 The
Leslie Humanities Center and Hopkins Center wish to
announce a program of films and director/speaker visits
during winter 2002. The program is intended to reflect
the recent upsurge in film production by innovative
directors, many of them young, from a wide range of
African countries, and the corresponding upsurge of
interest on the part of American audiences at such venues
as the Brooklyn Academy and the Smithsonian, both of
which have staged ambitious showings. The program is
also intended to focus attention on the vitality of
movie and other cultural production in Africa, a phenomenon
often eclipsed by the Western media's persistent, almost
exclusive focus on war, disease, and social upheaval.
Link to detailed
description of all films.
Showtimes for all movies: 7:00 pm, Loew theatre.
