Film Screening: The Black Power Mixtape
Date: Saturday - February 25 2012
Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Location: CENTRAL Library
Description: At the end of the 1960âs, numerous Swedish journalists came to the US, drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution. Filming for close to a decade, they gained access to many of the leaders of the Black Power movement â Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, and Eldridge Cleaver among others â capturing them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews. Thirty years later, this lush collection of 16mm film, peppered with footage of Black Panther activities and B-roll images of Black America, was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover bring this mesmerizing footage to light and integrating audio interviews with prominent African-American artists and activists who were influenced by the struggle â from Erykah Badu to Harry Belafonte â craft a dynamic chronicle of the birth and life of a movement.
