Wade in the Water. by Mesfin, David,film director.; Masekela, Selema,actor.; Schaffer, Sharon,actor.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Selema Masekela, Sharon SchafferOriginally produced by Video Project in 2023.Led by historical experts and community leaders in the BIPOC surfing movement, WADE IN THE WATER resurrects the thousand-year-old Black surfing tradition, stirring the next generation of Black surfers. The film explores the neglected history of Black surfing’s heritage by charting the origins of African aquatic culture and examining the evolution of Black surfing through the modern day.The journey begins with the first written account of surfing in the 1640s, from Africa, 200 years before Europeans described surfing in Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Advancing into the 20th century, Nick Gabaldón is highlighted as a surfing figure who is as significant as he is overlooked. We then learn of the shameful histories of weaponizing eminent domain and acts of white supremacist terrorism that drove Black communities and businesses from America's shores in places such as Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica. And finally, we bear witness to the reclamation of aquatic culture with the contemporary wave of young Black surfers.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Going to Mars. by Brewster, Joe,film director.; Stephenson, Michèle,film director.; Giovanni, Nikki,actor.; Kino Lorber (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Nikki GiovanniOriginally produced by Kino Lorber in 2023.Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in the Sundance U.S. Documentary Competition, this beguiling documentary portrait follows poet and activist Nikki Giovanni as she approaches 80. The film explores Giovanni’s Afrofuturist-feminist philosophical outlook as well as her poignant relationship with her family, her political audacity, and her poetic eloquence, all knit together with a constant eye and ear for its subject’s own aesthetic verve. Looking back at a personal life and history cast in the long shadow of American racism, and forward to hopeful, possible futures, Giovanni acts as our guide and narrator, with refreshingly unorthodox filmmakers Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson refraining from traditional chronologies or talking-head conventions. GOING TO MARS is fueled by constant intellectual engagement and radical imagination in the search for emotional and political fulfillment in a world of disenfranchisement.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Punch 9 for Harold Washington. by Winston, Joe,film director.; Jackson, Jesse,actor.; Video Project (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Jesse JacksonOriginally produced by Video Project in 2021.Barack Obama moved to Chicago in 1985, in part, because of a man he'd never met: Harold Washington. The first black mayor of a major U.S. city, Washington created a broad coalition across America's most segregated metropolis on an inclusive platform whose progressive values are still being championed today. Following the 20 year reign of Richard J. Daley, Chicagoans appeared fed up with the machine politics that had defined their city in the national imagination. After a promising but ultimately disappointing term from Jane Byrne, the city's first female mayor, the city's Black leaders recruited Washington to mount an effort to unseat her. In one of the dirtiest political campaigns in American history, in a city rife with corruption and discrimination, Harold Washington took on the deeply-entrenched machine, and a shameful realignment of the city's White democrats with the Republican candidate, to become the 51st mayor of Chicago.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
