Impressive depth of information. Racial Equity. Bryan Cranston. Don Cheadle. Henry Winkler. We fantasize about what we think should be changed. What does that mean? I think we started having a different sense of African Americans [on screen] when the civil rights movement came about. The new images of African Americans presented by Hollywood came through avenues that were opened because of singular artists at the time.
Sidney Poitier changed the whole image of African Americans. I had the advantage when I started out of doing the plays of the great South African writer Athol Fugard as my foundation for looking at cultural production. And that was in the midst of the Anti-Apartheid movement and the Free Mandela movement. When I was working, I would often go to arthouses and watch world cinema. So the idea that came around with Joslyn Barnes started by talking about the Haitian Revolution.
Now somebody might have thought that was a rock band, but there was a Haitian Revolution [led by Toussaint Louverture]. Haiti was the first nation ever to be formed by formerly enslaved Africans who defeated the Spanish, defeated the French, defeated the British. Then we talked about our interest in world cinema. And we began to say: how do we put emphasis on this issue?
So we put emphasis on storytellers. Elia Suleiman, Palestinian, one of the great filmmakers in the world. How do we get involved in that? I could have shown that movie to my grandmother, who was born in , and she would have gotten it! My grandparents, they would talk about past lives; about visions.
They would sometimes scare the hell out of me as kid! And so those are the kind of things that we were able to do. They moved my career in a lot of ways, but they were important for me to do. All that history is a part of me. So being able to do those films is a way of exploring that part of myself. Self - Oscars. Self - Narrator voice.
