SUMMARY:The Beehive Design Collective Presents "Dismantling Monoculture: Globalization and Resistance in the Americas"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Beehive Collective for a high-energy picture-lecture.  According to the The Beehive Collective:  Dismantling Monoculture is an anthology of three educational\, visual narratives that illuminate the connections between colonization\, militarization\, and industrial development in the Americas. To create the graphics\, the Beehive interviewed hundreds of community members about the effects of globalization on their lives. The Bees craft these stories into visual metaphors\, weave them together in a patchwork “quilt\,” and lead audiences through a larger-than-life banner version of the graphic”. The Beehive Collective is an all-volunteer non-profit graphics workshop who’s mission is to cross pollinate the grassroots by creating iconic imagery that can be used as popular education and organizing tools.

SUMMARY:African Film Fest: "Dôlè (Dollar)" and "Africains poids moyens (African Middleweights)"
DESCRIPTION:In director Imanga Ivunga’s Dôlè (Dollar) (2000)\, the action takes place in Libreville\, the capital city of Gabon\, where four street kids scrape a living as a gang. Mougler\, the unwilling hero of this story\, finds his life hard to bear\, between an ailing mother and an absent\, alcoholic father. Yet\, the four friends continue to hold on to their dreams. But Mougler\, more and more concerned about his mother’s health\, decides to urge the gang on by raiding a cash game kiosk. Jury prize winner at Cannes Junior (2000) and Carthage (2000). In Africains poids moyens (African Middleweights)\, directed by Daniel Cattier (2002) the Belgian Congo is on the eve of Independence. A young Congolese boxer\, Samwa\, and his older brother\, Nourou\, arrive in Brussels for the final of the Afro-European Middleweight Championship to fight against the Belgian title holder. Looking to avoid a Congolese victory\, the Belgian organizers order Samwa to “dive” to the floor during the final. Nourou believes that this is an opportunity for Belgian passports and a chance to escape their miserable lives for good\, but Samwa has other ideas.

SUMMARY:African Film Festival: "Le ballon d’or (The Golden Ball)" and "Be Kunko (Everybody's Problem)"
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Ball (Le ballon d’or) directed by Cheik Doukouré\, Guinea/France\, 1992\, 90 minutes. Cheik Doukouré’s second feature celebrates the powerful dream of becoming an African soccer star\, a dream that is pursued by kids in innumerable small villages who play in the dust with bare feet and footballs made of rags. A thoroughly engaging adventure story\, Le ballon follows Bandian\, a boy-wonder on the soccer field\, from his village in the bush through a series of hilarious and not so funny contretemps to superstardom in France. He’s assisted on his way by his hometown witch doctor; the young French doctor (Agnés Soral) who gifts him with a real football — the “golden” ball of the film’s title\, a dwarf (Aboubacar Koita) who offers him a brother’s love\, soccer star Karim (played by Salif Keita)\, and a canny businessman with an eye for the main chance. Be Kunko (Everybody’s Problem) directed by Cheick Fantamady Camara\, Guinea\, 2004\, 30 minutes. Bè Kunko depicts the spiral of violence that a group of teenagers fall into as they struggle to survive day-to-day in a Guinean refugee camp in the capital of Conakry. Little by little\, we discover the teenagers’ daily lives. John and Tom go from burglary to armed robbery\, whilst Satou and Dady end up in prostitution. As time goes by\, the gap widens between Tom\, who revels in an extreme violence\, and John\, who is violent because that’s the only way to survive\, but who nonetheless struggles to build himself a “normal” life again. Despite the love and attention she showers on them\, seventy-year-old Mémé\, their grandmother\, who is a refugee too\, can do nothing to save John\, Tom\, Satou and Dady from this infernal spiral.

SUMMARY:African Film Festival: "Niiwam" and "Safi La Petite Mere (Safi the Little Mother)"
DESCRIPTION:Based on a novel by Ousmane Sembene\, Niiwam (Clarence Thomas Delgando\, Senegal\, 1991\, 80 min) recounts the travails of a young couple’s attempt to save the life of their infant son\, who is gravely ill. Unable to find a cure in their village\, Thierno and his wife take him to a city hospital\, only to discover that the “blessings” of modern life has caused a degradation of even the most basic human relationships. The film avoids sentimentalization\, seeing its main characters as tragic examples of much larger\, social problems. As their struggle mounts\, Thierno takes a bus trip across the city\, only to be caught in a more desperate situation. Director Clarence Delgado\, who has worked as Sembene’s assistant\, effectively updates the quiet yet powerful style of Sembene’s own early work. The first-time feature director does not let the simplicity of his story detract from its harrowing and immediate call for humanity. Safi La Petite Mere (Safi the Little Mother) directed by Rasò Ganemtoré\, Burkina Faso\, 2004\, 30 minutes. When her mother died at birth\, Safi\, eight years\, was found with newborn in her arms\, fleeing her village where\, according to the tradition\, the baby must be sacrificed in order to be joined together to his mother and to thus draw aside the bad fate of the village. Having taken refuge in the large city\, Safi is found with a double problem of survival\, for both herself and her brother. Despite hardships however\, Safi finds solidarity and the compassion of a family. In addition\, the value of the market will also be transformed into a multitude of moms ready to give their milk to the baby. Co-Sponsored with the Art Department of RPI and by iEAR Presents!

SUMMARY:African Film Festival: "Malentendu Colonial (The Colonial Misunderstanding)" and "Nkan Mii (Something Else)"
DESCRIPTION:Malentendu Colonial (The Colonial Misunderstanding) directed by Jean-Marie Teno\, Cameroon\, 2004\, 78 minutes. The Colonial Misunderstanding is a bold exploration of Germany’s “African past”—specifically\, its attempts to colonize parts of Africa through religion and trade. Jean-Marie Teno looks at the role that missionaries played in laying the groundwork for colonialism in countries like Togo\, Cameroon\, Namibia and South Africa. The later crimes of the Nazi regime were actually anticipated by Germany’s genocidal war against the Herrero people in Namibia (1904-1907)\, which forcibly dispersed them and interned them in concentration camps. Through interviews with experts from Germany and Africa\, Teno paints a provocative picture of the relatively short but nevertheless horrific colonial history of Germany in Africa. Nkan Mii (Something Else) directed by Seke Somolu\, Nigeria\, 2003\, 16 minutes. A man in financial distress is left with few options and must turn to his family for help in this micro-cosmic look at middle-class life in Nigeria today.
