Showing the Film: Black Skin, White Mask
A unique mixture of documentary and visually lush reenactments, Frantz
Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask is filmmaker Isaac Julien's unique "reading"
of the pre-eminent theorist of the anti-colonial movements of this
century. Fanon's two major works, Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched
of the Earth, were pioneering studies of the psychological impact of
racism on both colonized and colonizer. This innovative film biography
restores Fanon to his rightful place at the center of contemporary
discussions around post-colonial identity.
Part of an ongoing monthly series showcasing radical films and supporting
local organizing. Films are shown on the patio at El Rio every month.
Event is free, but donations accepted. Space is wheelchair accessible, but

from our bio:
"The Heads Up Collective is a white anti-racist, anti-imperialist project. We
are rooted in the global justice and anti-war movements. We developed
through the mass actions that rocked the WTO in Seattle in 1999 and through
opposition to the right-wing military advances of the U.S. government
launched at home and abroad after the devastating attacks on Sept. 11th, 2001.
The Heads Up Collective works from the foundation that all people have the
right to housing, food, health-care, meaningful work and healthy
communities. In short, we believe in the need for revolutionary change and
the liberation of all people from the systems of white supremacy,
patriarchy, capitalism, heterosexism, the gender binary system and
imperialism.
The goals of the Heads Up Collective are:
1. To support organizations led by radical organizers of color working against the war and its domestic impacts.
2. Develop and support anti-racist analysis, practice and leadership in mostly white sections of the global justice and anti-war movements.
3. Create spaces that encourage a growing commitment to anti-racism in white communities."
I hope that helps... and I'd love it if you could point me to the laughing squid listing so I can check it out.
