Still I Rise: The Maya Angelou Film Festival is a programme of screenings celebrates the life and work of world renowned and legendary author, poet, actress, professor, singer, dancer, playwright, director, and activist Dr. Maya Angelou who passed away at the age of 86 in May 2014.
Although best known as an author, poet and activist, Maya Angelou also acted and wrote for TV and film which is often forgotten. The films selected are films that feature Maya Angelou, are narrated by Maya Angelou or are written by or directed by Maya Angelou.
The film festival will feature a mixture of feature films, documentary and art house film. We will incorporate storytellers/spoken word artists, presentations, industry experts at each screening and facilitate engaging post film discussions with audience members.
On Saturday 26th September 2015, Black History Studies will screen the film 'Zora Neale Hurston - Jump At The Sun' following a FREE Storytelling Workshop.
Maya Angelou was significantly influenced by Florida writer, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston. We will screen this film that showcases Hurston's life and career.
To open the event, there will be a free storytelling workshop with Griot Chinyere from Shanti-Chi from 3pm - 5pm.
Zora Neale Hurston - Jump At The Sun (2008) Director: Sam Pollard Duration: 84 minutes
Zora Neale Hurston, path-breaking novelist, pioneering anthropologist and one of the first Black women to enter the American literary canon (Their Eyes Were Watching God), established the African American vernacular as one of the most vital, inventive voices in American literature.
This definitive film biography, eighteen years in the making, portrays Zora in all her complexity: gifted, flamboyant, and controversial but always fiercely original.
The screening will be followed by Q&A.
THIS EVENT IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!
