THE AFRICAN DIASPORA INTERNATIONAL FILM FEST
Trans-Cultural Dialogues Film Series
BQ Caribbean Life, July 5—July 11, 2019 47
For the month of
July, ADIFF curates
the Trans-Cultural
Dialogues Film Series,
an attempt to illustrate
an international dialogue
between cultures in
different parts of the
world. The series has an
international perspective
that is built around a
need to understand our
human experience on a
larger scale.
From an African-
American artist who
exhibits his work in
Cuba to the influence
of African culture on
the development of the
Flamenco, all the films
expose the viewer to a
cultural dialogue of
multiple proportions.
The series will be held
at Teachers College,
Columbia University
from July 5 to 7.
Highlighting the
series is the International
Art In Cuba program
with the screenings of
The Black Mozart in
Cuba, the latest act in
the rehabilitation of the
memory of musician
extraordinaire Joseph
Boulogne, Le Chevalier
de Saint-Georges (1745-
1799) and screening
of the documentary
Resistance which gets
close to the essence of
the art of the African
American artist Ben
Jones. It documents
his powerful exhibition
RESISTANCE presented
at Cuba’s most important
cultural institution
Museo National de Bellas
Artes. Screening followed
by Q&A with Ben Jones
and reception.
Another highlight
is the sneak preview
screening of Black N
Black, a documentary
that explores the
relationship between
African Americans and
African immigrants
to the United States.
Screening is followed by
a Q&A with filmmaker
Zadi Zokou.
Also in the program
are Gurumbe: Afro-
Andalusian Memories
that illustrates
the fundamental
contribution of Africans
to the art form of
Flamenco and Mama
Africa, Miriam Makeba
a documentary with
rare archival footage
of Miriam Makeba’s
performances that
traces the remarkable
life journey of this
formidable South African
activist and performer.
For its retrospective
screening, ADIFF brings
back Mira Nair’s classic
Mississippi Masala,
featuring a young
and dazzling Denzel
Washington.
