ReplyDelete(Oh, I'm talking about Black August, by the way.)
What a great line up. Indie films seem to take a certain care with their scripting and direction and do not rely so much on special effects and Super Actors who have won Oscars times over. Each small film I've viewed are engaging and approachable.
I'm excited about the Festival and I'll be sure to bring a friend.
Night Catches Us has caught me..."you cant go on until you go back" is so profound and true. So many times we ask ourselves why we do not feel like we are moving forward and the simple truth is there is something unresolved holding us back. I am very excited about this film.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me that immediate Oscar nods never seem to look in the direction of certain films but hey maybe I'm just an overly conscious, racially sensitive black woman.
Nesh.
Chameleon Street of course! Rarely screened masterpiece. On my top ten all time film list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteRaymond, check back soon for an interview with THE WENDELL B. HARRIS JR.!
Chameleon Street!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Black August film and Chameleon Street - both have a special place in the hearts of the hip hop nation.
