The New School ( http://www.newschool.edu) for Media Studies (http://www.newschool.edu/mediastudies) presents a retrospective Film Screenings of Haile Gerima. Outsider Hollywood: Social Activism and Cinematic Art. Established by a bequest from the late Dorothy Hirshon, a trustee of The New School for 61 years, this annual event promotes excellence and education in the filmmaking arts. The theme of the eighth Hirshon Film Festival is working outside the Hollywood system while creating socially conscious, cinematic film.
Called one of the independent cinemas chief chroniclers of the African-American and African Diaspora[n] experience[s], by Variety, Haile Gerima is a distinguished independent filmmaker who has served as a professor of Film at Howard University in Washington, DC, since 1975. Haile is perhaps best known as the writer, producer, and director of the acclaimed 1993 film Sankofa, which the New York Times called poetic and precisely detailed. The film, a historically inspired dramatic tale of African resistance to slavery, has won international acclaim including first prize at the African Film Festival in Milan, Italy; Best Cinematography at Africas premier Festival of Pan African Countries (FESPACO); and a nomination for the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film festival. In addition, the film captured the imagination of huge audiences across the United States. In doing so, it defied the notion that signing with mainstream distributors was the only option for filmmakers wanting to reach a wide audience.
Guided by an independent philosophy, Gerima practiced an innovative strategy in distribution whose success remains unprecedented in African-American film history. Gerimas earlier works include the films Harvest: 3000 Years, which Martin Scorsese described as having, a particular kind of urgency which few pictures possess; and Bush Mama. Gerima is releasing his eleventh cinematic production and seventh dramatic film, TEZA, which means morning dew in Amharic. The film tells a story of hope, loss, and reminiscence through the eyes of an idealistic young intellectual who has been displaced for many years from his homeland of Ethiopia. Reflecting on the effects of the fall of Emperor Haile Selassie on Ethiopias history and society, TEZA also focuses through a wider lens on the ways political upheaval and social change have impacted cultures and nations across the African Diaspora. Due to the discourse on critical issues it engenders and its exquisite visual tableau, TEZA is an unparalleled work of social activism and cinematic art.
This years director-in-residence is producer, director, and writer Haile Gerima. He introduces a retrospective of his work.

Independent filmmaker Haile Gerima, the writer/director/producer behind TEZA, ADWA, SANKOFA & BUSH MAMA, discusses his new film, YETUT LIJ ("Child of the Breast"), and the campaign that he's launching on Indiegogo to raise funds for production.
*****
YETUT LIJ is an Amharic phrase, that crudely translates to "Child of the Breast." The term is typically used to refer to a child taken in and raised by someone, other than their own parent.
The story takes place in 1960’s Ethiopia, 20 years after the Italian occupation. Aynalem, a 13-year-old peasant girl, gets adopted by a wealthy judge's family and taken away from her own, with the promise of an educated upbringing and a better life. Contrary to this promise, she is instead forced to work as a domestic servant. Yet, despite the close watch and cruelty of her employers, she meets and falls in love with an ordinary police man, named Tilahun. Though, he manages to help her escape her circumstances, Tilahun finds Aynalem years later, in the clutches of another formidable captor.

Haile Gerima (born Gondar, Ethiopia, March 4, 1946) is an Ethiopian filmmaker, who resides in the United States. He is a leading member of the L.A. Rebellion film movement, also known as the Los Angeles School of Black Filmmakers. His films have received wide international acclaim. Gerima has also been an influential film professor at Howard University in Washington, DC, since 1975. He is best known for the 1993 film, Sankofa.
Haile was born and raised in Gondar, Ethiopia. His father, a dramatist and playwright who traveled across the Ethiopian countryside staging local plays, was an important early influence.
He immigrated to the United States in 1968. He pursued his interest by enrolling in acting classes at the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago. "When I was growing up," he told the Los Angeles Times, "I wanted to work in theater—it never occurred to me I could be a filmmaker because I was raised on Hollywood movies that pacified me to be subservient. Film making isn't encouraged or supported by the Ethiopian government." He felt limited by theater and was resigned, notes Francoise Pfaff, to "subservient roles in Western plays."

The film tells a story of hope, loss, and reminiscence through the eyes of an idealistic young intellectual who has been displaced for many years from his homeland of Ethiopia. Reflecting on the effects of the fall of Emperor Haile Selassie on Ethiopias history and society, TEZA also focuses through a wider lens on the ways political upheaval and social change have impacted cultures and nations across the African Diaspora. Due to the discourse on critical issues it engenders and its exquisite visual tableau, TEZA is an unparalleled work of social activism and cinematic art.

Independent filmmaker Haile Gerima, the writer/director/producer behind TEZA, ADWA, SANKOFA & BUSH MAMA, discusses his new film, YETUT LIJ ("Child of the Breast"), and the campaign that he's launching on Indiegogo to raise funds for production.
*****
YETUT LIJ is an Amharic phrase, that crudely translates to "Child of the Breast." The term is typically used to refer to a child taken in and raised by someone, other than their own parent.
The story takes place in 1960’s Ethiopia, 20 years after the Italian occupation. Aynalem, a 13-year-old peasant girl, gets adopted by a wealthy judge's family and taken away from her own, with the promise of an educated upbringing and a better life. Contrary to this promise, she is instead forced to work as a domestic servant. Yet, despite the close watch and cruelty of her employers, she meets and falls in love with an ordinary police man, named Tilahun. Though, he manages to help her escape her circumstances, Tilahun finds Aynalem years later, in the clutches of another formidable captor.

Independent filmmaker Haile Gerima, the writer/director/producer behind TEZA, ADWA, SANKOFA & BUSH MAMA, discusses his new film, YETUT LIJ ("Child of the Breast"), and the campaign that he's launching on Indiegogo to raise funds for production.
*****
YETUT LIJ is an Amharic phrase, that crudely translates to "Child of the Breast." The term is typically used to refer to a child taken in and raised by someone, other than their own parent.
The story takes place in 1960’s Ethiopia, 20 years after the Italian occupation. Aynalem, a 13-year-old peasant girl, gets adopted by a wealthy judge's family and taken away from her own, with the promise of an educated upbringing and a better life. Contrary to this promise, she is instead forced to work as a domestic servant. Yet, despite the close watch and cruelty of her employers, she meets and falls in love with an ordinary police man, named Tilahun. Though, he manages to help her escape her circumstances, Tilahun finds Aynalem years later, in the clutches of another formidable captor.

-I-I- gotta make make my way
Way through all these people.
I didn't put all this money
Just so so I I can see ya'
I'm about to act a double fool,
I used to dawg on you.
I'm about to bon bon
Chicky bon bon bon me.
Run it back
I got technology,
X-Ray vision anything
I can see through.
I get static every time you speak,
Frequency got to be equal.
I'm tired of playing,
Can't even hear the shit you saying.
It's like (make the noises? )
Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram, there's a glitch
In the system tell me
What I gotta do now.
Oh damn.
Illusion, confusion,
I'm losing ground (Oh oh oh)
Hologram.
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey. Hologram.
Hey hey hey hey)

You want me to flip the switch
So I I can be your victim.
I ain't gotta slip up
Like going it outside in the rain
With no umbrella.
What the hell you take me for.
I'ma take a different route.
I'm about to bon bon
Chicky bon bon bon me.
Run it back
Bang bang choo-choo train,
Baby put that thing on me.
You'd rather see my main frame,
Not the cage.
You about to see another side of me.
And she'd be like T minus 7,
Before my system shut us down.
Matter of fact I think
I'm about to shut down right now.
Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram,
There's a glitch in the system
Tell me what I gotta do now.
Oh damn.

I'm tired of playing with you,
Right now I think your times up.
Giving mixed signals
That I don't have control of.
I'm losing my mind,
Perfect model before my time.
Download to my instant data,
Give me a sock I can plug in.
Hologram, I'm pushing up close
But it's hard to get to ya.
Hologram,
There's a glitch in the system
Tell me what I gotta do now.
Oh damn.
Illusion, confusion,
