Shola Lynch, director of "Chisholm," said most films about blacks perpetuate stereotypes, while a rich range of stories remain untold " This year's eclectic Sundance slate is a promising move in that direction â€â€? "Deadline," which chronicles the commutation of death sentences for 167 inmates â€â€? most of them black â€â€? by Illinois Gov "In terms of drama from the black experience, that's the bar that hasn't been crossed, stories involving aspects of the black experience that are not as fun and not as convenient W I think that's why you're seeing more of them now Past years at the Sundance Film Festival typically had a handful of movies by and about blacks, but the current indie-film showcase has a dozen or more "There's still this wealth of subject matter from the black experience that's simply not being addressed," said "CSA" writer-director Kevin Willmott We are multidimensional, and the films we can make need to reflect that I don't walk around just as a black person, or just as a woman, or just as a former athlete or a filmmaker " â€â€? "Chisholm '72: Unbought & Unbossed," a portrait of the black congresswoman's bold and brassy campaign for the White House in 1972 We've got to a find a way to tell those stories, get them out there and be seen by a large audience "I think what you're seeing at Sundance is something that's realistic for any independent filmmaker "It's opening up," said Spike Lee, who recently signed on as executive producer of Sundance entry "CSA: The Confederate States of America," a faux documentary examining the racist nation that might have resulted had the South won the Civil War Other festival highlights include: "Citizen King," a documentary tracing the last five years of Martin Luther King Jr "And that's really where we as independent filmmakers come in Big-name talent such as Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Will Smith, Wesley Snipes and Martin Lawrence have helped break down color barriers in Hollywood Yet many black stars and directors tend to get stuck in action and comedy tales, while weightier black stories remain a tough sell Also, "Edge of America," by American Indian filmmaker Chris Eyre, about a black teacher coaching a girls basketball team on an Indian reservation; "Brother to Brother," about a black gay artist and his mentor, a writer who was at the center of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s; and "Baadasssss!" directed and co-written by Van Peebles, who stars as his father, Melvin, in his uproarious quest to make the seminal 1970s black-power flick "Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song "Without that true mix of a wealth of images, people just start to think that we're real funny 's life from his "I Have a Dream" speech to his assassination; "Redemption," director Vondie Curtis Hall's dramatization of the jailhouse transformation of "Tookie" Williams (Jamie Foxx), a real-life gang leader who became a patron for inner-city youth; rapper DMX as a criminal reflecting on his life in Dickerson's "Never Die Alone"; "Let the Church Say Amen," a documentary about a black church's efforts to spread faith and joy on the mean streets " A sharp-witted satire, "CSA" applies a blend of whimsy and reality â€â€? the moon landing with the Confederate flag on the lunar surface, D If we can break into that arena, then we'll really be getting somewhere Black Filmmakers Featured at Sundance Jan 21, 3:55 PM EST Black filmmakers are gaining influence in big-money Hollywood "We can get jobs, but what kind of jobs? We're relegated to the ghetto of these broad, broad, broad comedies And we are funny, but we're also very serious, too," Willmott said " Sundance also is screening "Sweet Sweetback" with the new film If you want to tell stories Hollywood won't tell, you have to do it yourself, whether you're a woman or African-American or a Latino filmmaker Hollywood will not touch such issues meaningfully, leaving it to black indie filmmakers to fill in the gaps, Willmott said "Not all black folks grew up in the projects," said Lynch â€â€? "The Fight," a look back at black boxer Joe Louis' triumph over white challenger Max Schmeling to retain the heavyweight title in their 1938 rematch By hypothesizing about what might have happened, the film becomes a disturbing reflection of racial strife that lingers today It only follows that they would make inroads in low-budget independent cinema, too George Ryan as a last act before leaving office Griffith making his greatest film about the capture of "Dishonest Abe" Lincoln, who fled to Canada in blackface via Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad after the Union fell The schedule was so strong Sundance organizers held a panel discussion â€â€? "The New `New Black Film'" â€â€? featuring black filmmakers Mario Van Peebles, Kasi Lemmons and Ernest Dickerson " Four of the 16 films competing in Sundance's documentary category have blacks as their central figures or touch heavily on black subjects: â€â€? "A Place of Our Own," examining the resort enclave of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard, where educated, well-to-do blacks found a haven from racism decades ago "Hollywood picks up on one little piece of it and calls it the black experience "This is a war that gropes for justification and finds none He has said Democrats should reject the idea of a +Springer+ candidacy "If the administration has its way, we are about to go to war, the consequences of which our children and our children's children will face," +Springer+ said Springer Worries About Political Image Mar 12, 11:04 AM EST Jerry Springer said he is not sure he can overcome his trash talk show host image for a possible run for a Democratic Senate seat A poll released Monday by the University of Cincinnati found that 71 percent of voters surveyed had an unfavorable opinion of Springer, whose nationally syndicated show is known for racy topics and raunchy language " Springer also criticized Bush for promising tax cuts for the wealthy while leaving behind those who could least afford to pay Springer is expected to make about a dozen appearances around Ohio before deciding this summer whether to seek the Democratic nomination to oppose Republican Sen George Voinovich next year Eric Fingerhut of Cleveland, the only candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination so far, also spoke to the crowd "I can't imagine anyone voting for me at this point," the former Cincinnati mayor said Tuesday at a Democratic fund-raiser "I think he has a lot more wisdom than people give him credit for Not all Democrats are ready to dismiss Springer "The Democratic Party is supposed to stand for working people and if it doesn't, we ought to stop being a party," he said "We should both be judged on what work we've done with our lives," Fingerhut said State Sen He sounded like a candidate Tuesday night in a speech to a crowd of about 900 at the Montgomery County Democratic Party's "Frolics for Funds" at a Dayton arena He criticized Voinovich's record and said he was the candidate who could defeat the Republicans I think he could hold his own," she said Springer began his speech with a stinging criticism of the Bush administration, which he believes is close to ordering troops into action in Iraq Gloria Bell, 66, is a lifelong Democrat who thinks Springer would have a chance He said it's Democrats' job to make sure Bush is accountable for his policies |
