SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Payal Kapadia
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to co-sponsor with the DocYard a special screening and visit with filmmaker Payal Kapadia. \nPayal Kapadia’s latest film A Night of Knowing Nothing will screen at the DocYard on Monday\, Oct. 4 followed by a Q&A over Skype. The following evening Payal will visit the Film Study Center’s Nonfiction Workshop at 5:30pm (over Zoom) for a discussion about her films. If you are interested in attending and are not currently an FSC fellow (we are only able to accommodate a limited number of participants) kindly email FSC’s program coordinator Cozette Russell (cerussell@fas.harvard.edu). \nABOUT THE FILM \nStarting with a beautifully accomplished trilogy of short films\, Mumbai-based filmmaker Payal Kapadia has developed a bold hybrid cinema that seamlessly combines fiction and nonfiction techniques. In A Night of Knowing Nothing\, her first feature\, Kapadia’s vision continues in fearless\, rigorous\, and utterly astonishing form—and was justly rewarded with the documentary Golden Eye prize at Cannes 2021. The film’s story comprises a series of love letters found in a cupboard at a film school\, from a student who is separated from her lover and thus writing and saving them for his return. As the letters are read aloud by an actor\, the visual material that bolsters the narrative is comprised of beautiful 16mm footage that Kapadia and collaborator Ranabir Das (the film’s cinematographer and editor) recorded of their friends\, and their friends’ own videos\, starting in 2017. All of the crisp diegetic recordings\, voiceover narration\, and images merge and flow into each other effortlessly\, setting up the context for even those unfamiliar with India’s present and presenting an oneiric telling of personal and societal responsibility. In this way\, the story of one student’s relationship becomes a larger story about the life of university students more broadly\, told with great urgency\, especially once the film advances to its titular night. (AS) \nWorld Premiere and L’Œil d’or\, le prix du documentaire winner at 2021 Cannes. Closing Night at 2021 FIDMarseille. Official Selection of 2021 TIFF Wavelengths and 2021 NYFF Currents and winner of the Cinematic Vision Award at Camden International Film Festival this past weekend where the film had its US Premiere. \nABOUT THE FILMMAKER \nPayal Kapadia is a Mumbai-based filmmaker and artist. She studied Film Direction at the Film & Television Institute of India. Her short films Afternoon Clouds and And What Is The Summer Saying premiered respectively at the Cinéfondation and Berlinale. She is a Berlinale Talents alumna and participated in 2019 at the Cinéfondation – Residence in du Festival de Cannes. \nHer first feature-length film A Night of Knowing Nothing was selected for Director’s Fortnight\, Cannes 2021 where it won the Golden Eye Prize for Best Documentary. Her next project\, All We Imagine as Light\, which received support from CICLIC\, Hubert Bals Fund\, and PJLF Arts Fund\, is currently in development.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Elizabeth A. Povinelli
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that critical theorist and filmmaker Elizabeth A. Povinelli will join us to discuss a program of her films. Her writing has focused on developing a critical theory of late settler liberalism that would support an anthropology of the otherwise. This potential theory has unfolded across five books\, numerous essays\, and thirty-five years of collaboration with her Indigenous colleagues in north Australia\, including\, most recently\, six films they have created as members of the Karrabing Film Collective. Ahead of her visit\, we will watch The Inheritance and Day in the Life. \nThe Inheritance Alice Henry Ink\, 2021\, 80 min.\nIn the late 1960s and early 1970s\, little Elizabeth Povinelli struggles to understand the meanings of her Alpine inheritance hidden in the rich-hued ridges of a framed image hanging in her family’s home and expressed in the sudden flashes of anger and deep pockets of melancholia that pool round it\, only to discover the source of her inheritance is not in the past but in the present racial and colonial infrastructures that surround her in the US. \nDay in the Life Karrabing Film Collective\, 2020\, 32 min.\nDay in the Life explores the ordinary obstacles Indigenous families face as they move through an ordinary day. Across five chapters–Breakfast\, Playtime\, Lunch Break\, Cocktail Hour\, and Dinner Time–and an audioscape directed by its younger members\, DIL is a visual and sonic landscape that dramatizes and satirizes the settler forms of governance and extractive capitalism that Karrabing members encounter over the course of a day. \nThis event will be presented remotely over Zoom. The FSC will circulate links to the films in advance to watch on our own\, and then we will get together online to have a conversation about the work. We have limited capacity regarding the number of participants we can accommodate\, so if you are interested in attending (and are not currently an FSC fellow or CMP student)\, please email Cozette Russell at cerussell@fas.harvard.edu.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Beatriz Santiago Muñoz
DESCRIPTION:Puerto Rican filmmaker Beatriz Santiago Muñoz will join us to discuss a program of her films. In her work in film and video\, “the uncontrived\, observational style of her art aligns it with the sensibility of documentary film while also blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction. Despite its ostensible simplicity\, Santiago Muñoz’s work stems from intensive research\, observation\, and documentation\, and she is deeply concerned with the tension between the documentarian’s desire for truth and the artist’s aesthetic concerns. For her\, the camera as a tool that can both reveal and fabricate reality.” (Guggenheim) \nBeatriz Santiago Muñoz is an artist whose expanded moving image work is entangled with Boalian theater\, experimental ethnography and expanded cinema. She tends to work with non-actors\, and incorporate improvisation into her process. Her recent work is on the sensorial unconscious of anti-colonial movements\, on hurricanes and dreamwork\, and irrational projection lenses. Recent solo exhibitions include: Gosila\, Der Tank\, Basel; Nuevos Materiales\, Museo Amparo; Safehouse\, Sullivan Galleries\, A Universe of Fragile Mirrors\, PAMM\, Miami; Song Strategy Sign\, New Museum; La Cabeza Mató a Todos\, TEORética\, San José\, Costa Rica; MATRULLA\, Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros\, México D.F. Recent group exhibitions include: Whitney Biennial 2017\, NYC; Prospect 4\, New Orleans; 8th Contour Biennale\, Mechelen. Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today\, Guggenheim Museum\, NYC. In 2017 she received the Tiffany Comfort Foundation Grant\, she was 2016 USA Ford Fellow and received a 2015 Creative Capital visual artist grant. \nThis spring\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Ernst Karel and Veronika Kusumaryati
DESCRIPTION:The FSC is excited to kick off the spring semester of Nonfiction Workshops with a project and makers deeply connected to the history of the FSC: Ernst Karel and Veronika Kusumaryati will be with us to discuss their film/sound work Expedition Content. \nExpedition Content\n2020\, DCP\, 78 minutes \nIn 1961\, filmmaker Robert Gardner organized the Harvard Peabody Expedition to Netherlands New Guinea (current day West Papua). Funded by the Dutch colonial government and private donations\, and consisting of several of the wealthiest members of American society wielding 16mm film cameras\, still photographic cameras\, reel-to-reel tape recorders\, and a microphone\, the expedition settled for five months in the Baliem Valley\, among the Hubula (also known as Dani) people. It resulted in Gardner’s highly influential film Dead Birds\, two books of photographs\, Peter Matthiessen’s book Under the Mountain Wall\, and two ethnographic monographs. Michael Rockefeller\, a fourth-generation member of the Rockefeller (Standard Oil) family\, was tasked with taking pictures and recording sound in and around the Hubula world. Expedition Content is an augmented sound work composed from the archive’s 37 hours of tape which document the strange encounter between the expedition and the Hubula people. The piece reflects on intertwined and complex historical moments in the development of approaches to multimodal anthropology\, in the lives of the Hubula and of Michael\, and in the ongoing history of colonialism in West Papua. \nThis spring\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Hassen Ferhani
DESCRIPTION:Hassen Ferhani was born in Algiers in 1986. In 2006\, he directed his first film Les Baies d’Alger. He took part in l’Université d’été at La Fémis and co-directed Afric Hotel (2011). Later on\, he made Tarzan\, Don Quichotte et nous (2013)\, which was presented at Visions du Réel\, FIDMarseille and Locarno\, and which had already reflected his interest in documentary bordering on fiction. Roundabout in My Head (2015)\, shot in slaugtherhouses in Algiers\, was his first feature. In 2015 he was awarded a McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking from the Film Study Center. \n143 rue du désert (2019)\n104 min. \nPreviously\, a slaughterhouse opened up the heart of Algiers to the world (Roundabout in My Head\, 2015). Now\, the manager of a small shop in the Sahara offers a place of peace − though maybe not an oasis\, what with the sand wiping out even the colors in this documentary Western. A closed off chamber\, an observation spot or a theater stage: such is the versatility of a filmmaking device that Ferhani – and therein lies his talent − never seems to be satisfied with\, always being ready to embrace the unexpected. – Antoine Thirion\, Locarno Film Festival\, Concorso Cineasti del presente. \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop.

Justino\, a 45 years old Desana native\, works as a security guard at the cargo port. Since the death of his wife\, his main company is his youngest daughter with whom he lives in a modest house on the outskirts of town. Nurse at a health clinic\, Vanessa is accepted to study medicine in Brasilia and will need to be leaving soon. \nAs the days go by\, Justino is overcome by a strong fever. During the night\, a mysterious creature follows his footsteps. During the day\, he fights to stay awake at work. But soon the tedious routine of the harbor is broken by the arrival of a new guard. Meanwhile\, his brother’s visit makes Justino remember the life in the forest\, from where he left twenty years ago. Between the oppression of the city and the distance of his native village\, Justino can no longer endure an existence without place. \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Distribution as Praxis: Conversation and Brainstorming with Sentient.Art.Film’s Keisha Knight
DESCRIPTION:The reverberations of the “Men and Nations” style of knowledge-making privileges systems of extraction and erasure. In focusing only on the genius of the artist and the artist’s art object we often neglect the channels that allow visions to flow\, or not flow\, as the case may be. We need artists with vision to continue to push us to imagine and feel more than we think possible but we also need channel-makers and channel-tenders who clear the weeds and create the relational networks that circulate and nurture the artists’ work in ways that challenge inherited systems of extraction with an aim to create more just and robust environments for artists\, subjects\, and the public. Imagination is power and needs the proper support to fully realize its collective potential. \nThrough personal anecdotes\, case studies\, and group discussion this workshop will explore distribution as a means through which to renegotiate fossilized systems of extractive exchange. We will discuss the nuts-and-bolts realities of the film distribution landscape as it currently exists and think together about what transformative interventions are possible. \nKeisha Nicole Knight is a graduate student in Art\, Film\, and Visual Studies and Director of Sentient.Art.Film a collectively and curatorially focused distribution initiative committed to expanding the field of the cinematic imagination. Sentient.Art.Film was founded in 2018 and has worked with films such as “August at Akiko’s\,” “No Data Plan\,” “Island of the Hungry Ghosts\,” “In My Blood It Runs\,” and “So Pretty.” \nThis workshop is limited to 20. Priority is given to CMP students and FSC fellows. Kindly RSVP and a Zoom link will be sent before the event. \n

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Indigenous Cinemas in Brazil: Concepts and Effects of Self-Representation
DESCRIPTION:Filmmakers Patricia Ferreira and Alberto Alvares Guarani\, and the writer and indigenous leader Ailton Krenak\, will be joining us at the FSC for the screening and discussion “Indigenous Cinemas in Brazil\,” programmed by Junia Torres. \nJunia Torres (film programmer\, coordinator for forumdoc.bh) will present a program of films by indigenous filmmakers\, focusing on Brazil. Joining Torres will be a panel including filmmakers Patricia Ferreira and Alberto Alvares Guarani\, and the writer and indigenous leader Ailton Krenak. \nThis program will explore the concept and the effects of self-representation through films by indigenous filmmakers. We will discuss a filmmaking history that spans more than three decades\, focusing on how the introduction and appropriation of cinematic language across different ethnicities supported the struggle of indigenous peoples to strengthen their identities and their territorial and cultural patrimony\, through a form of production that was shared by the diverse indigenous peoples. Today\, most indigenous filmmakers work autonomously\, away from outside structures\, to conceive\, film\, and edit. These filmmakers have reconfigured the contemporary documentary movement in Brazil. (Junia Torres) \nCo-sponsored with the Center for Visual Anthropology at the University of Southern California. \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Miko Revereza
DESCRIPTION:Miko Revereza is an award-winning experimental filmmaker\, educated at Bard College. Moving from Manila\, he has lived illegally in the United States for years. The work of this undocumented documentary filmmaker is strongly influenced by his own struggle with documentation and the exclusion that comes with it. Revereza’s documentary film debut “Droga!/Drug!” (2014) was nominated for Best Experimental Documentary in Jihlava. His feature debut “No Data Plan” (2019) had its world premiere at IFFR. – IFFR program \nThis Fall\, the FSC will be hosting (remotely) a series of visiting filmmakers as part of our Nonfiction Workshop. Invited filmmakers will circulate links to their films in advance so that we can watch them on our own\, and we will get together as a group to have a conversation about their work. As many of these works are in progress or yet to be released theatrically\, we have limited capacity in terms of the number of participants we are able to accommodate. This event is only open to FSC Fellows.

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Hassen Ferhani [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nHassen Ferhani was born in Algiers in 1986. In 2006\, he directed his first film Les Baies d’Alger. He took part in l’Université d’été at La Fémis and co-directed Afric Hotel (2011). Later on\, he made Tarzan\, Don Quichotte et nous (2013)\, which was presented at Visions du Réel\, FIDMarseille and Locarno\, and which had already reflected his interest in documentary bordering on fiction. Roundabout in My Head (2015)\, shot in slaugtherhouses in Algiers\, was his first feature. In 2015 he was awarded a McMillan-Stewart Fellowship in Distinguished Filmmaking from the Film Study Center. \n143 rue du désert (2019)\n104 min. \nPreviously\, a slaughterhouse opened up the heart of Algiers to the world (Roundabout in My Head\, 2015). Now\, the manager of a small shop in the Sahara offers a place of peace − though maybe not an oasis\, what with the sand wiping out even the colors in this documentary Western. A closed off chamber\, an observation spot or a theater stage: such is the versatility of a filmmaking device that Ferhani – and therein lies his talent − never seems to be satisfied with\, always being ready to embrace the unexpected. – Antoine Thirion\, Locarno Film Festival\, Concorso Cineasti del presente

SUMMARY:Krabi\, 2562 with directors Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:[CANCELED] \nKrabi\, 2562\nAnocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers in Person \nThailand\, United Kingdom\, 2019\nThai\, English\n94 minutes \nAn innovative exploration of the Thai tourist community\, Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers’ visually elegant and conceptually creative documentary is an ambitious reflection on time\, place\, and memory. \nCreative documentary and cinematic realism are at the core of Krabi\, 2562\, a luminous\, elegantly playful work on the power images have to represent and manipulate a personal universe of collective memories and to inspire social awareness. \nCo-conceived and directed by festival favourites Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers\, two distinctive voices from different cultures and traditions who nevertheless share a similarly generous vision of the world\, Krabi\, 2562 is an elaboration of themes and ideas investigated in the duo’s 2018 installation for the first Thai Biennale. In the film’s narrative and visual space the Holocene\, the recent past\, and present day (2562 being the current year in the Thai Buddhist calendar) coexist in southern Thailand’s Krabi region and its quietly beautiful landscapes — paradises soon to be lost forever in the contamination of rampant consumerism and invasive tourism. \nAs a woman — who has a propulsive\, changing identity — guides viewers through Krabi’s history\, folklore\, and iconic sites\, the film’s hybrid structure merges fiction\, interviews\, and oral tradition into a fluid experience\, as placid as it is trippy. In one instance\, a prehistoric couple exists alongside Krabi’s many international tourists and commercial film crews\, going about their mundane daily life oblivious to the millennia that have passed. \nShot on Super 16 by Rivers and cinematographer Leung Ming Kai\, the film lingers on the quiet pace of omnipresent nature\, ever-changing light\, and the inhabitants who strangely\, though also naturally\, are suspended within a vast time continuum — including that of memory. \nGIOVANNA FULVI\, Toronto Film Festival

SUMMARY:The FSC Nonfiction Workshop presents Roberto Minervini
DESCRIPTION:Photographer\, filmmaker and music producer Roberto Minervini (1970\, Italy) is a US-based film director\, writer and lecturer. He holds a Master in Media Studies from the New School University in New York. His Stop the Pounding Heart (2013) was screened in Rotterdam and Cannes. The Other Side (2015) was screened in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes. His documentary What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018) screened in the main competition section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival.\n \nWhat You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire? (2018)\n123 min.\n \nMinervini’s follow-up to his Texas Trilogy is a portrait of African-Americans in New Orleans struggling to maintain their unique cultural identity and to find social justice. Shot in very sharp black and white\, the film is focused on Judy\, trying to keep her family afloat and save her bar before it’s snapped up by speculators; Ronaldo and Titus\, two brothers growing up surrounded by violence and with a father in jail; Kevin\, trying to keep the glorious local traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians alive; and the local Black Panthers\, trying to stand up against a new\, deadly wave of racism. This is a passionately urgent and strangely lyrical film experience. – Film at Lincoln Center

SUMMARY:Screening: Atlantique by Mati Diop
DESCRIPTION:Atlantique\nDirected by Mati Diop.\nWith Mame Sane\, Amadou Mbow\, Traoré.\nBelgium/France/Senegal \, 2019\, DCP\, color\, 105 min.\nFrench and Wolof with English subtitles. \nThe stunning debut feature by actress-turned-filmmaker Mati Diop is a bewitching tale of longing focused on a young Senegalese woman gripped by her forbidden love for an exploited construction worker who abruptly emigrates to Europe but seems to be lingering mysteriously behind. Melding supernatural fiction with a clear-eyed vision of the migrant crisis\, Atlantique—which began\, in fact\, as a documentary short—gives unique resonance to an urgent issue reshaping communities across Europe and Africa today. A surprise but well-deserved winner of the coveted Grand Prix at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival\, Atlantique establishes Diop as a central figure in a new wave of politically charged yet lyrically shaped art cinema that is reorienting contemporary filmmaking towards bold new directions. – HG \nCo-sponsored by the Harvard Film Archive \nMati Diop is no longer able to appear in person.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Microphone Selection and Technique
DESCRIPTION:High-quality sound is one of the most frequently overlooked factors in film and video production. It’s half of the equation in audiovisual terms\, yet image often plays a dominant role. The Film Study Center possesses a wide array of microphones and sonic transducers – available for loan to current FSC fellows and students of Critical Media Practice – to aid in the production of immersive and nuanced soundtracks or audio-only works. \nLike any tool\, one must understand how a microphone functions and which applications it is best suited to fully reap its benefits. In this workshop\, led by FSC Film and Video Technician Stefan Grabowski\, we will discuss a variety of microphone designs and their ideal uses\, whether you’re wanting to conduct interviews in controlled spaces\, capture location sound in noisy outdoor environments\, or create complex aural textures by means of less conventional tools such as hydrophones\, contact microphones\, or parabolic reflectors. We will discuss different pickup patterns\, stereo configurations and microphone arrays\, and the characteristics of each of these. We will also cover basic recording techniques\, dealing with placement as well as ways to avoid handling and wind noise. \nThis workshop aims to inform participants about the microphone resources available to them through the Film Study Center and to inspire thoughtful\, creative audio projects and film sound design. For more comprehensive instruction on sound recording\, editing\, and mixing\, please consider taking a course such as Sonic Ethnography; For training on specific microphones\, individual appointments can be made with Stefan. \nNote: This workshop is limited to current FSC fellows and CMP students. Please RSVP.

SUMMARY:Screening: Voices of the Rainforest with Steven Feld
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Documentary Educational Resources (DER)\, a center for documentary anthropology and ethnographic film based in nearby Watertown\, the Harvard Art Museums present the new documentary film “Voices of the Rainforest\,” in 7.1 surround sound. \nDirected and produced by acclaimed ethnomusicologist Steven Feld\, “Voices of the Rainforest” is an experiential documentary about the ecological and aesthetic coevolution of Papua New Guinea’s Bosavi rainforest region and its inhabitants. Through sound and image\, the film immerses viewers in the rainforest\, making myriad connections between the everyday sounds of the rainforest biosphere and the creative practices of the Bosavi people who sing to\, with\, and about it. \nThe film is based on Feld’s 1991 acousmatic composition of the same name\, which condensed 24 hours of sounds of the rainforest and the Bosavi people into an hour. Produced by Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart\, the piece was digitized and recomposed into a surround-sound experience and performed at the Harvard Art Museums in 2017. The success of the soundtrack prompted the digitization of Feld’s archive of Bosavi images and a two-month trip to Bosavi by Feld and filmmaker Jeremiah Richards\, who brought high-resolution cameras and drones to renew the project. \nFollowing the screening\, Steven Feld will discuss the film with Amahl Bishara\, associate professor of anthropology at Tufts University. \nCo-sponsored by Documentary Educational Resources\, the Peabody Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology\, the Film Study Center at Harvard University\, the Critical Media Practice secondary field\, and the Harvard Art Museums.

SUMMARY:Mama Colonel by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Mama Colonel\nDirector in Person\n$12 Special Event Tickets/Free Admission for students with Harvard ID\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2017\, DCP\, color\, 72 min.\nLingala\, Swahili and French with English subtitles. \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nFirst seen in Tolérance zero\, where she combatted violence against women in the context of a special police brigade\, Honorine Munyole\, now a colonel\, selflessly leads a vigorous campaign against rape and the mistreatment of children in the provincial capital of Bukavu. She has instated a number of mechanisms for their protection and solidarity\, including refuges for the most vulnerable. But she is transferred to a larger city\, Kisangani\, also Hamadi’s birthplace. Supported by a small group of police officers\, she has to convince residents to report the numerous crimes that take place in the city’s disadvantaged neighborhoods and find safe havens for those who need them. Two wounds are particularly active. One is the “six-day war” that ravaged the city in 2000\, during which many women were raped\, their husbands and sons killed\, and all their possessions destroyed or stolen. Some of them now find themselves with children born out of that atrocity. Another is that of a family structure in which men frequently disappear for multiple reasons\, which correlates with innumerable abuses inflicted on children who are then accused of sorcery to legitimate the mistreatment. With an impressive level of determination and skill\, and well aware of the limitations of her efforts\, Maman Colonelle tirelessly struggles against this tight web of poverty\, violence\, obscurantism and egotism. From the precinct to the slums\, from the markets where Colonel Honorine berates shopkeepers to negotiations with public figures looking to appropriate the benefits of her work\, and even into the privacy of her home\, Hamadi stays close by his heroine. She becomes a mirror for a diseased society\, but one that nonetheless pulsates with admirable forces of life.

SUMMARY:Kinshasa Makambo by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Kinshasa Makambo\nDirector in Person\nReception following screening\n$12 Special Event Tickets/Free Admission to students with  Harvard ID\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France/Switzerland/Germany/Qatar/Norway\, 2018\, DCP\, color\, 75 min.\nLingala and French with English subtitles. \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \n“My country is an open-air prison\,” says Dieudo Hamadi. In 2015\, the constitution had provided for a least a change of prison warden\, but Joseph Kabila\, president dictator of the Democratic Republic of Congo\, decided to change the constitution. Young people from major cities flood the streets in a protest of unprecedented scale. The film follows three activists in particular: Christian\, Ben and Jean-Marie. In an impressive demonstration of physical courage\, on par with that of his subjects\, Dieudo Hamadi experiences at close range the deadly clashes with police and army\, who shoot with real bullets. But he is also embedded in the daily lives of these young people who receive regular threats and criticism from their families and must face the doubts and fears of a situation of extreme violence that seems unlikely to end. Kinshasa Makambo also reveals the internal debates of these protestors as they seek to extend their movement without succumbing to repression and coercion. Closely inscribed within a particular historical and geographical reality\, this film—whose director makes the unconditional choice throughout to remain next to his protagonists—also reflects more broadly on the forms of political engagement. \nAlthough they share in the same struggle\, the three protagonists do not have the same analysis on how to continue to their fight: one chooses to join an opposition political party\, which\, in spite of its limitations\, represents a possibility of acceding to power; another sticks to his uncompromising opposition to a corrupt system; the third looks to alternative forms of organization for possible answers. Through Hamadi’s lens\, these ideas take shape through words\, looks and gestures in an intensely vital and moving way. \nWe hope you will join us for a reception after the screening of “Kinshasa Makambo” on Friday\, Oct. 4th.

SUMMARY:Atalaku by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Atalaku\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2013\, DCP\, color\, 60 min.\nLingala and French with English subtitles.\nDCP source: Swank \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nFilmed during the 2012 elections\, supposedly the first democratic elections since the nation’s independence in 1960\, Atalaku (“Town Criers”) describes with equal vigor the poor functioning of democracy within the country as well as a multiplicity of facets of daily life and human relationships that this circumstance helps reveal. The film follows three central protagonists. The first\, Gaylor\, is an ordinary pastor\, affiliate of a church where he exhorts his parishioners\, endlessly invoking the name of the Lord to convince women in the audience to donate money. He becomes a tout for candidates in the elections\, a “crier” who incites local residents to attend meetings for the political hopefuls who employ him; as he goes through the markets distributing small sums of money\, little electoral arguments entrusted to him by incumbents to the national assembly\, he keeps as much as he can for himself. The second protagonist is an orchestra of some twenty members\, young musicians who rehearse\, argue and get drunk in a vast cemetery. The third is a group of young women who belong to a citizens’ association; they canvas the streets explaining to people why and how to vote and supervise ballot procedure in polling stations. Through these encounters\, Atalaku captures the shameless use of bribes\, as well as the political passion of many citizens\, the misogyny still in force including among “democrats\,” and the force of a clergy imbued with mysticism. The film ends with the riots that stem from an electoral process so clearly marred by numerous irregularities\, and the repression that ensues. But it is the whole of relations to the electoral process that appears as biased\, ineffective and immoral\, even before the fraud that would bring dictator Joseph Kabila back to power. \nPRECEDED BY \nLadies in Waiting\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi and Divita Wa Lusala.\nDRC/South Africa\, 2009\, 35mm\, color\, 24 min.\nFrench with English subtitles.\nPrint source: Swank \nThe first short in the omnibus Congo en 4 actes\, this film takes place in a maternity ward in Kinshasa—an environment familiar to Hamadi\, who studied medicine before turning his hand to filmmaking. Through the exemplary situation of women who have just given birth\, the film presents in detail the unbearable tension within a dysfunctional society\, marked at once by tremendous poverty and violence (which translates in particular to numerous rapes and children born of these rapes); the unrestrained commoditization of relationships; widespread corruption; and a litigious bureaucracy. Dames en attente focuses on the hospital accountant—whose job it is to collect birthing fees from women who cannot afford to pay—as she pleads a particularly dire case to the administration\, or even attempts to convince the children’s fathers (if they have not disappeared) to foot the bill. As witness to situations—occasionally extreme—that ordinarily remain hidden\, the film develops a rich portrait that refuses to pass judgment; instead\, it makes manifest the endless obstacles and dead-ends within a collective mechanism\, one not limited\, of course\, to maternity wards.

SUMMARY:Examen d'état (National Diploma) by Dieudo Hamadi at the HFA
DESCRIPTION:Examen d’état\n(National Diploma)\nDirected by Dieudo Hamadi.\nDRC/France\, 2014\, DCP\, color\, 92 min.\nDCP source: Icarus Films \nDieudo Hamadi is the 2019-20 McMillan-Stewart Fellow in Distinguished Filmmaking at the Film Study Center at Harvard University. \nThe high school exit examination\, which grants diplomas and allows entrance to university\, is perceived as a passport to a better life. A poor teenage orphan who works in the markets before and after school to survive\, Joël serves as a guide and conduit into the violent\, cynical and unjust world that is the final year of high school. Although they absolutely need\, or think they need\, to attend the last year of high school in order to have a chance on the exam\, the students who cannot afford to pay for the third trimester are ruthlessly excluded. The feeling of injustice is even more acute as many classes from the preceding terms\, for which the students did pay\, never took place: often working without pay\, teachers frequently go on strike. Alongside this administrative confrontation\, multiple magic practices participate in the effort to ensure good results on the exam: Christian priests hawk supposedly salvific benedictions while shamans offer various magic recipes. Students excluded from the school for financial reasons band together to study in an atmosphere also marked by corruption and power struggles. Ultimately\, all are counting on cheating during the exam in order to obtain their diplomas. This organized cheating on a national scale reflects an environment where corruption is the rule\, a rule known and accepted by all even if officials make a big show of their respect for procedure. As it brings these processes to light\, Examen d’état also offers\, through Joël and his classmates\, a series of portraits of some extraordinarily keen young people\, who are capable of mobilizing a wide range of strategic skills in the attempt to reach their goal.
