Introduction to the black side.............

For a while I have been concerned that the black side of life and design here in the city of boston gets overlooked. In a city that is 51% minority with a Black Governor, why do we have to work so hard to know about all the exciting things that are happening in the city? Therefore the goal of this blog is to pass along information about events, activities, job opportunities and restaurant reviews from a minority perspective. The Black side or hidden side of life and design here in Boston is the scope of what you will find in the posts. And some occasional commentary will also make its way to the web. Enjoy!

Presents:  WOMEN in FILM

Current works by women filmmakers exploring women's issues including film shorts by

Jessica Gidal, Rinat Harel, Michelle Rawlings, & Ashley Shuyler

Panel discussion to follow

Guest Curator: Rinat Harel

 

Estranhos Poemas / Jessica Gidal

 

 

Estranhos Poemas is an experimental documentary about the life and poetry of Claudina, a psychiatric patient in southern Brazil.

Claudina's writings mingle with the decaying environment of São Pedro hospital, reflecting not only that her words are driven by her

30 years in the hospital, but that the hospital itself is transformed by her presence. (Currently a work-in-progress.)

 

ima / Rinat Harel

 

 

ima entails the struggles of one of the first female bus driver in Israel, raising issues of gender discrimination and living with terror.  Her struggles reveal many layers and complexities of the multi-faceted Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  Placing the personal experience within a social-political context delivers a coherent account of the struggle.

Day of the Eclipse / Michelle Rawlings

 

 

Day of the Eclipse explores the notion of intangibility and presents a collision between consciousness and unconscious, between mystery and banality. The primary location of the film was the Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas, TX, other locations in downtown Dallas, Boston, and the Serengeti in Tanzania. The film's music is a composite of ten overlapping pieces played simultaneously. The sound mimics the confusion and lack of precision of a dream. Day of the Eclipse is an attempt to cultivate the feeling of having a dream, its ambiguity, and the transience of anything explicitly understood, free from logic of time.

 

Somebody Like Me / Ashley Shuyler

 

 

Somebody Like Me follows Ngunina, a young Maasai woman, who was the first in her village to go to secondary school, after she returns to her family home in Tanzania.  As Ngunina tries to share her story with the filmmaker, who was Ngunina's American sponsor. the complex nature of their relationship is gradually revealed. By attending to the everyday activities of Ngunina and her family, framed by the interactions between filmmaker and subject, this nonfiction video records moments of discomfort and simultaneous efforts toward empathy that result when ethnography, "sponsorship," and friendship intersect.

 

WOMEN in FILM is part of BHCC's celebration of International Women's History Month and its WOMEN in PRINT exhibit.

The WOMEN in FILM screening and panel discussion will take place in the A-300 auditorium adjacent to the BHCC Art Gallery.

All BHCC Art Gallery events are FREE and open to the public.
