Cultural films to be featured
Filmmaker plans
visit, discussion
for this weekend
By Gerry Beltz
Senior Reporter
The films of Pratibha Parmar
will be showcased at the Mary
Riepma Ross Film Theater today
through Sunday.
In addition, Saturday’s and
Sunday’s screenings will feature
an appearance by Parmar herself,
where she will discuss her work
with the audiences.
Parmar’s film “Warrior Marks,”
a documentary on female genital
mutilation, won international ac
claim and was presented by Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Alice
Walker.
Parmar’s work has been shown
in many countries and at interna
tional film festivals.
Parmar, an independent film
maker, was also the 1993 recipient
of Frameline Award, an award that
is presented to an individual who
has made a substantial and excep
tional contribution to lesbian and
gay media. Frameline also orga
nizes the world’s largest gay and
lesbian film festival every year in
San Francisco.
Parmar is a writer, anti-racism
activist, filmmaker and artist. Her
works have been featured at the
Ross Theater several times in the
past, and this week’s showings will
include two new films she made in
1994 — “The Colour of Britain”
and “Memsahib Rita.”
Films and videos to be shown
will include:
# “The Colour of Britain,” a
documentary looking at leading
British Asian artists.
# “Memsahib Rita,” a different
type of “ghost” story that explores
questions including mixed-race
identity, bereavement and racist
violence.
# “Bhangra Jig”: A four-minute
video about how young Asian
people in Scotland celebrate desire
and self-pride through dance and
music.
# “Double the Trouble, Twice
the Fun”: A documentary drama
exploring the experiences of dis
abled lesbians and gay men.
# “Warrior Marks”: A docu
mentary about female genital mu
tilation in Africa, presented by
Alice Walker.
# “Sari Red”: A video poem
that examines the effect of the
everpresent threat of violence upon
the lives of Asian women in both
private and public spheres.
# “A Place of Rage”: A docu
mentary film highlighting the
lives of African-American women
and their role in the civil-rights
movement, focusing on Angela
Davis, June Jordan and Alice
Walker.
• “Flesh and Paper”: life and
writing of Indian lesbian poet and
writer Suniti Namjoshi.
• “Memory Pictures”: A video
exploring photographic represen
tations of issues of migration and
identity.
• “Emergence”: A video fea
turing black and third-world
women artists and poets, including
Audre Lorde, Sutapa Biswas, Mona
Hatoum and Mei Ling Jin.
• “Khush”: A film celebrating
the lives of South Asian lesbians
and gay men in Britain and in
India.
A total of 11 different works
will be shown — each ranging
between four and 54 minutes in
length — and those 11 will be
divided into four different pro
grams, with three films and videos
in each program (“Warrior Marks”
will be in two different programs).
Complete schedules are available
at the box office.
Admission is $5, $4 for stu
dents with identification and $3
