[#FILMFESTIVAL #BLACKFILM] Blaxploitalian + The Gospel Part of BAMcinématek series New Voices in Black Cinema Directed by Fred Kudjo Kuwornu | 2016  Saturday, Apr 29 | 2pm Peter Jay Sharp Building | BAM Rose Cinemas | 30 Lafayette Brooklyn, NY  Admission $14 Members | $7 (Free for Level 4 and above) For showtimes and tickets, visit bam.org/film/2017/blaxploitalian-and-the-gospel
Directed by Fred ‘Kudjo’ Kuwornu | Produced by Kalon Jackson and Curtis Caesar John
With Fred Williamson, Iris Peynado, Harold Bradley Jr., Denny Mendez, Jonis Bascir, Salvatore Marino
Spotlighting the careers of a seldom acknowledged population of entertainers—black actors in Italian cinema—this documentary explores personal struggles and triumphs that Afro-Italian and African diasporic actors have faced across 100 years of Italian cinematic history. A challenge to the industry worldwide, Blaxploitalian is a call to action for diversity in film and media.
From the un-credited Black actor who appeared in the 1915 film “Salambo”, to World War II American expatriates, to those native born, for multiple generations Black actors have established, and continue, a rich history of performance and cultural significance in, yes, Italian cinema.
That legacy is now uncovered as “Blaxploitalian: 100 Years of Blackness in Italian Cinema” makes its New York City theatrical premiere in the 2017 New Voices in Black Cinema festival on April 29th at 2pm, part of BAMcinématek’s cultural programming.
Directed by Bologna, Italy born Fred ‘Kudjo’ Kuwornu, “Blaxploitalian” explores his international quest to uncover Black film images of his native land, and unlock his own personal history, leading Kurownu to discover a heritage of Black actors and creatives. Kuwornu will follow the screening with a Q&A.
This heritage goes back to the beginning of the 20th century, then through expats like “Dr. No” (1962) co-star John Kitzmiller and later ones like American 1970’s Blaxploitation star and filmmaker Fred “the Hammer” Williamson (Enzo Castellariʼs The Inglorious Bastards), both of whom founder greater acceptance in Italy. It continues with exotic 1970’s and 80’s screen beauties such as Zeudi Araya and Iris Peynado (Attila flagello di Dio, 1982) and contemporary actors like Germano Gentile.  These names are just a handful of actors, whose struggle for wanting to play more than prostitutes, sorceresses, drug dealers and illiterate immigrants exists to this day, mirroring the troubles of their American cousins.
Thus, “BlaxploItalian” also serves as a call-to-action for increased diversity in Italian cinema and media.  Kuwornu has presented the film to Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (the Oscars), among other film notables
Screens with director A.V. Rockwell’s The Gospel, about four slice-of-life segments depicting Alicia Keys coming of age experience in New York City.
---
New Voices in Black Cinema returns for the seventh year, with narratives, documentaries, and shorts that examine the black experience in America and around the world. From international voices to films made in Brooklyn to new black classics, New Voices in Black Cinema brings together urgent stories that need to be told.

Our story and thoughts about Jikook
Hi! I first of all love your channel!
I like to tell you my story and thoughts about Jikook. Sorry in advance if it’s too long! :-D
So since august 2020 I became an ARMY, I never heard of BTS nor K-pop before, I just saw the MV Dynamite and I loved it so much. What stood out for me was the dynamic of the boys. But what I also noticed in the MV saw something weird (to me), it was the look Jimin gave JJK before he jumped on his back, I was quite intrigued by this. Anyways I didn’t think of it much further and started looking at more MV’s of BTS and soon I only listened to BTS and watched their MV’s, interviews, old clips of them, RUN BTS,… every day,hours in a row. Jimin and JJK stood out for me but I didn’t think of them as possible boyfriends yet, I just thought Jimin was obviously gay and a cute flirty guy. I was not at all familiar with the term Shipping because it’s not something we do in our country with boysbands or actors, it doesn’t exist here. So me and my sister (she is 17, I’m 33 LOL) became ARMY at the same time in 2020. My sister was way more active on Insta, Twitter,… So it didn’t take long for her to discover shipping, soon she was a Taekook shipper, she said she shipped them because she loves these 2 guys most and because of their looks and their bond. I didn’t understand much of what she meant by this or why she would ‘ship’ them at all (like what is that and why?). Anyways Later on, around September/ October 2020 I noticed more signs of Jikook being something different: like 'arriving late at an interview, 'Jimin saying he was with JK at 4 am while minutes before JK told a different story, some RUN BTS moments that looked so intimate or gay to me. I don’t know, I had a strange but loving feeling with these two. And then BAM while watching some old video’s of BTS Rookie king, American Hustle,.. I got a recommendation for a Jikook video (first ever for me), I watched it and it felt like a puzzle came together. There were moments of concerts in it I hadn’t yet seen, there were very to the point analysis. I was just Jungshook :-O From then on I watched Jikook videos every day on top of everything BTS related. When watching old stuff from BTS I kept an extra eye on Jikook now and wow I was amazed by how slowly but obviously JJK started falling in love with Jimin. But it was only after I saw CGF Tokyo (I was quite late discovering that one) I was very much convinced of Jikook being in love/ being boyfriends. So there I was being addicted to the love between Jikook. One day I talked about Jikook with my sister, who’s a Taekooker. We never did before talk about Jikook specifically, we only talked about BTS in general but that day I asked her why on earth would you think Taekook are a couple while Jikook are obviously a couple. She then said that neither of them are real and showed me a lot of Taekook and Vmin video’s. After that my world came crashing down. I never saw another ship video before, only Jikook. I was so convinced I was witnessing a very beautiful and unique lovestory but then there was my younger sister telling me, I quote: “woman seriously, what did you think? They are all close friends who grew up together and are very much into skinship and fanservice, I’m sorry sis but none of them are dating and if they are then they’re a threesome, doesn’t make sense”. She was right, the interactions I saw between Jikook I could easily see between VMin and Taekook too. I secretly cried for 2 days and felt really bad, not believing in true love anymore. I know it’s weird at my age but that’s what it was like for me. My boyfriend really looked at me like I was a ridiculous teenager but I couldn’t help it. I thought I witnessed a true love couple in front of me but I was being played. I think 2 months went by, me ignoring everything Jikook, only watching BTS in general, luckily for me there was little interaction as in skinship anyways, except for the Christmas Dynamite video when Jimin was all cozy with JJK (I blamed it on fanservice) and then the iconic Black Swan performance, which I watched a 100 times over and cried for (I blamed it on the choreographer because Jikook do make the best dance pair); but then BAM all of the sudden there was the recent Vlive BE.T.S. and I was Jungshook, I was like 'come on, they’re all over each other, but why????’ I felt a little angry at Jikook about the 'fanservice’ this time because lately they didn’t do that a lot and I felt like they grew out of it and I was content with that since my heart was broken because of the fanservice before. It felt more fair to me that the members stopped doing fanservice. But no, there was Jikook again, right in front of all of us, flirting like they hadn’t seen each other in a while. Not just Jimin also JJK was looking at Jimin like a lover. It bothered me a lot because my heart was still healing from a 'break-up’ kinda feeling. But guess what happened next: I got a text from my little sister: “oh my god sis Jikook might be real after all” I texted her back “shut up, don’t laugh at me, I’m pissed”. and she: “No seriously, what is this, they flirt like there’s no tomorrow :-O Boyfriends after all?? ”… I was shocked that she of all people started believing in Jikook, while I finally saw reality because of her and her fiends. I start doubting Jikook again. So we came together and we wrote down some facts that could indicate Jikook being a real couple. Things Jikook did or said that they didn’t do with other members. I first wrote down 'it’s in their eyes, their stares’ but my sis reminded me that it goes for Taekook and Vmin as well so no, not a fact actually. But we came up with these facts:
1) GCF Tokyo, JJK planned this for Jimin’s birthday and it was all about Jimin, you could interpret it as a film for a very special friend but the song that goes with it and the fact that it was for his birthday were too suspicious and the most important fact: he ONLY did that for Jimin, not any other member after that. 2) Jimin is the most special member to JJK. He never gave gifts on B-days to members but he did gave Jimin a B-day present in 2017, just him, not the other members. After the members pointing him about this special treatment he did start giving everyone presents but back then it was only Jimin. 3) I can write a lot about why we think this but we are sure the members are not living together at the dorms anymore, only for work or maybe they crash there sometimes but they don’t actually live there anymore. So they take different cars from there home base to get where they’re going and Jikook always take the same care, especially since 2019, not really sure they live together although we could sum up some facts that could indicate they live together but we can say they at least want to be together before and after work, like almost all the time. An important one for us is that they were both late at the live MBC Radio show in September 2020. The excuse was they took a different highway then the rest and were stuck in traffic (they were like 30 min late). That doesn’t make sense at all, why would one of the cars take a different highway if they are all following each other to get there. We suppose they all gather at the dorms to go to there appointments to make sure they all arrive at the same time at their appointments. So the cars will be following each other, which we can see that is the case, all members always arrive at the same time in different cars (except Jikook, same car). So the excuse makes no sense, it’s either that they both left a lot later then the rest from the dorms (which would be weird) OR they came from a different place (their own place?) and indeed took that certain highway and got stuck in traffic because they weren’t following the other cars. Well that is more likely right? 4) Jimin took a long flight from Paris to S-K just to spend a few hours with JJK on his B-day at the evening. Sure Jimin is a great friend for all the members but this goes beyond that. Me and my sis wouldn’t even do that for each other (our B-days are at the same day, but 16 years apart so it’s special for us too), we would celebrate after our trip. 5) Billboard 1° interview “I was with Jungkook at 4 AM …we cried together”, the day before that interview there was a Vlive for JJK’s B-day and the tension there was weird between Jikook, they seemed unhappy. Jimin was trying to say something about JJK but was caught off twice, anyways he said it the day after: 'he was with JJK’ at that time, since they all don’t live together this is very questionable, all nighter friends forever?… We both found this significant. 6) We all know that Jimin really likes snow. Bon Voyage season 4: JJK got up early and climbed a mountain (without camera’s, so not for fanservice) to get a lump of snow and then gave it to Jimin. So this moment was sweet, romantic but also really awkward, the crew being there and Jimin’s very shy reaction. We believe JJK meant this moment to be just between the two of them (JJk got up early for this) but the crew spotted him and yeah soon ((unfortunately) like 10 people were watching JJK giving Jimin that gift. Jimin didn’t know what to do or say… Between friends it wouldn’t be that awkward or it wouldn’t even happen in the first place. My boyfriend wouldn’t even do this for me, it’s too corny. 7) Rose Bowl, it’s debatable that JJK actually sucked Jimin’s ear but he at least kissed it twice and in an intimate way, this kind of intimacy we couldn’t find between any other members (yes we did search) we saw some intimate moments between Taekook and Vmin that looked very suspicious too but it was not like that special Jikook moment. This is another level. 8) As far as we know they spend the most time together off work: going ice skating, going to the cinemas, touring in London, watching the first snow together. All this in their private time without crew and cameras, no fanservice here. So we can say that even though they already work all these hours together in a day they still want to spend time together after that. J-Hope and Jimin spend time together off work too but mostly it’s Jikook who spend most time together off work. They must really like each other cause honestly I love my boyfriend but no way that I would want to be with him as much as Jikook are together, I would feel suffocated. 9) We debated a while about this one, my sis found it more important than me. RUN BTS episode 116-117 were a member (blindfolded) had to touch/feel the pose the members took to guess the song. Quite intimate game in our opinion but hey it’s S-Korea and skinship is normal… Editors for some reason did not show us JJK touching Jimin, all the others were shown, only of Jikooks scene we didn’t get the footage, just a picture of it afterwards. OK in my opinion the picture is for fanservice but why on earth leave the scene out at all, was it too intimate?, was it too awkward for the crew to film? we don’t know but fact is it was not shown. Normally I don’t over-analyse things but sis is right when she says this one is very suspicious. Editors cut a lot of scenes for different reasons but this one is just too suspicious. 10) Ever since 2013 they are all nighter buddies and JJK loves sleeping in Jimins bed. Just facts.
There is so much more to say about Jikook, like their matching rings, wearing each others clothes but that is not exclusively for Jikook, we found that Taekook also did this. Jikook does it more but still it’s not just them so we don’t take it as proof. Also hand holding, hugs, stares, it’s not something exclusively for them, they all do that, and considering these boys were very young when they got together and lived together a long time as a family, are together 24/7, it’s not surprising that in a country where skinship is normal, these boys are all over each other like there are no boundaries. It’s normal for them. Tae, JJK, Jimin, J-hope are especially into skinship but it hits different with Jikook if you consider what goes on between them beside that. Also we think there is less skinship these days which is quite normal since the members are all grown up now, so it’s a bit surprising when we see Jikook still being quite touchy. About their songs there are a lot of theories too that we can support (I am you and you are me,…) but they are still just theories.
In conclusion: My sister now believes they are a couple LOL. How fast the night changes :-) Taekook is still her favorite ship but she believes Jikook are a real couple, go figure……
I’m personally still careful in what I choose to believe so I can’t be heartbroken again if they turn out to not be a couple after all. I believe Jikook are more than friends/brothers and are likely in love with each other, possibly a couple and maybe living together :-) But still there are many things that make me question them as a couple as well and there is also the possibility that they just come off as a couple because of that special bond they have but in reality they are not. I hope they are a couple though because it would make the world a more beautiful place, I can’t explain why…
Thank you for letting me write our story here and sorry for this book I wrote LOL
Lots of love JD & S (ARMY sisters and Jikook supporters)
FROM SIS : Thank you for trusting me with your story!!! I am glad you came forward with your experience https://youtu.be/MwMLw6FdycY (I hope you don’t mind my comment at the end of it)

So are you a horror fan?!🤩🤩🤩 I love horror so much😭😭😭 I never have anyone to watch it with cause my friends limits stop at conjurings and such, like the f*ck am I suppose to do with that, that’s not horror besties😭😭😭 I also love watching them at night!!! Last night watched this Thai horror called The Medium, f*cking a-mazing!
My best friend is TERRIFIED of the conjuring movies. We watched Sinister together at the cinema and spent the whole time holding each other’s hands 😂
They shake me up but the buzz I get after? It’s something else. I can’t help but watch more. The “car scene” in haunting of hill house DID ME IN. My body lifted from the sofa. I rose. I forgot how to breathe. I love the type that it’s when they start with the eerie music and the camera angles but nothing happens and you’re just left on edge for ages then BAM. There it is just as you’re letting your guard down.
I might have to see if I can find it! If I can find it and watch it, I’ll let you know. Gonna call you my 👻 anon now.

Todos os filmes em que as cenas de sexo foram para valer
A Bula reuniu em uma lista todos os filmes da história do cinema nos quais os atores se envolvem em atos sexuais reais, não simulados. A diferença entre esses longas e a pornografia é que, embora possam ser considerados eróticos, a trama deles não é meramente pornográfica. Ao todo, a lista conta com 264 títulos.
Tumblr media
A Bula reuniu em uma lista todos os filmes da história do cinema nos quais os atores se envolvem em atos sexuais reais, não simulados. Nos Estados Unidos, esse tipo de cena era proibido no cinema convencional, mas a partir dos Anos 1960 os cineastas começaram a ultrapassar os limites. A diferença entre esses longas e a pornografia é que, embora possam ser considerados eróticos, a trama deles não é meramente pornográfica. A maioria deles foi lançada nos anos 1970 e 80, com predominância de dois diretores: o espanhol Jesús Franco e o italiano Joe D’Amato. Por repetidas vezes, também aparecem os nomes de cineastas consagrados atualmente, como Lars von Trier, Gaspar Noé e Yorgos Lanthimos.

On Surrealism, Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon and Toshio Matsumoto’s Funeral Parade of Roses
On Surrealism, Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon and Toshio Matsumoto’s Funeral Parade of Roses
Tumblr media
  Last month, the Brooklyn Academy of Music screened a pair of films as part of their ongoing series “Beyond the Canon,” intended to start conversations regarding the places that certain features have both in and out of what we consider “mainstream” storytelling. On a double bill with Neil Jordan’s The Crying Game (1992), BAM first showed Funeral Parade of Roses(1969), a unique drama from…

TROS WAS BAD
These are MY reasons, why:
1. Rey became Mary Sue FOR REAL, I mean: healing even deadly injuries, levitating, backflips, lightings and what else?! I liked her in TFA and TLJ, but now it’s just... UGH :/
2. Rey Nobody became Rey Palpatine and then Rey Skywalker. Yeah... I’ll stick with Rey Johnson from ffs, thank you very much!
3. Ben didn’t get a happy ending he deserved and was robbed even from his name by Rey. I cried after Ben’s death and I feel gutted that he’s gone. I hope that we’ll get more canon content to repair his story arc, because I refuse to acknowledge existence of this movie otherwise!
4. Rose deserved better, even though she was not my favourite character in TLJ...
5. Hux deserved better! In my chair in the cinema I KNEW that he will be revealed as a spy and that he’ll help Poe, Finn and Chewie! I felt it in my gut :D! And then bam! Killed and never heard of again... What a bullshit -.- !
6. J.J. Abrahms was supposed to be more brave, more daring in this installment as opposite to TFA, and not a coward wanting to please only ONE group of people stuck in the past. Nostalgia, hope and fun, my ass, ARGH!
7. The WHOLE Palpatine plot... WTF was that? 
8. Reylo being canon without a happy ending. I don’t have to elaborate on that, do I?
I need fix-it ffs and modern setting aus to get over the unfairness of this whole “experience” of a movie. 
End of story.

Rise of skywalker review (contains SPOILERS!)
I watched this on 20th December at 5.30pm in a pretty decent cinema but just going to post it later so not to spoil for other moviegoers.
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SPOILERS, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE YOURSELF AND RUN FROM THIS! A LOT OF SPOILERS ARE GOING TO BE DISCUSSED IN THIS.

Alrighty. On to the review!
First thing: Reylo was a thing. For a freaking minute!!! I swear I was screaming so bad when they kissed and was like the ship sails and yep. It died just a moment later and ding. He dies. She lives. She takes the name of Skywalker. Okokokok. Know it is to honor her masters but ok bro... what??
Also, thought it was weird that Kylo went to the light side once more and while I thought it fit the title Rise of Skywalker, thought it was odd that he spends two and a half movies turning her and bam, he joins her side. Adam Driver was amazing though and had to say his performance was one of the few saving graces of the film. Gonna miss his character: he was the main reason I stuck to the film.
Was pretty pissed with how they handled the Knights of Ren. Zero dialogue, not much work done, more like side characters. So why make them sound like a troop of fearsome Dark Side warriors who fell to Ben so quickly? I have read some amazing fanfiction about the Knights and how the saga could have ended and some portrayed the knights so well. I was anticipating how they would contribute to the story and been wanting some good Knights of Ren combat scenes and possibly show of faces and what not but no, that didn’t happen. At all!
Palpatine. I swear,he is an amazing bad guy but whats with the whole he being Rey's grandad and having an army of hooded people? While he was essential to the plot, I feel that he is to be left as part of another story but it worked out. Somehow. Figures Rey had to be his granddaughter and what not.
Plot wasn't great. Felt like they were jumping places, things seemed rushed and the whole thing with the resistance going Kamikaze was pretty stupid on Poe's end (dude did you forget what happened in the last Jedi?). Action scenes just felt thrown out there and didnt really fit to the story.
Actors were ok, loved how they brought in old voices from the movies and animated series like Kanan Jarrus and Ahsoka. Could barely pick them out but managed to hear Obiwan, Yoda and Qui Gonn. And Hayden Christensen yay! (Was hoping to see a Force Ghost Anakin but we can't win all the time right?)
One thing that really pissed me off was how the characters seemed so disconnected form one another. Rose got pushed to the background, Finn has a crush on Rey and never told her, Poe likes some girl and wants to get together with her and even though I ship Reylo to the ends of the earth, I was a bit like eh, did they really kiss? I was super surprised when they kissed to be fair but other than that, I felt they were throwing random actors together in scenes and just trying to make them work. The humour can be pretty bad : sorry but Star wars isn’t supposed to be a comedy. Don’t turn it into a comedy like the way you did Marvel Disney!
One of my favourite scenes was the whole reenactment of Kylo facing Han and going through the exact same words he had told his father back in the Force Awakens and this time, throwing away the Dark Side and coming back to the light. And although I found it a bit odd that he decided to do it all of a sudden after all the shit that happened in the past movies, it was nice to see him redeem himself and while I knew there was no possible way for him to be able to live and tell the tale after what happened, seriously wished he was the one who lived instead of Rey... no offence, not a Rey fan. And with the whole becoming one with the Force, wished we got to see Ben standing next to Leia, Han and Luke once more... now the Skywalker family has truly ended and its so sad...
Music was on point. Loved how they used music from all the films past and CGI, nothing to comment.
Conclusion : Pissed Reylo sank after shipping them so hard for four years, Adam Driver rocks and the plot, not gonna miss it. Gonna give it a 6/10 for the Reylo moment.
Now gonna cry myself to sleep and drown in fanfiction.

Beach Rats (2017)
Eliza Hittman’s film Beach Rats tells the story of a closeted teenage boy growing up in South Brooklyn. After the death of his father, Frankie’s drug use and sexual experimenting increases drastically as he starts to unravel. 
Frankie lives in a subculture that is not quite conservative but still sticks to hyper masculine ideals. Hittman, who comes from a similar neighborhood and subculture, discussed how she found it interesting that a place only an hour away from the huge Manhattan and all of its more liberal offerings and yet they are still stuck in a small non liberal world. Hittman believes it is important for people to know that New York City is big and is not just limited to those who live in Manhattan. For Frankie living in this environment is extremely difficult as he can not able come out to his friends and family as gay and be himself. 
Tumblr media
Throughout the film, there are snippets of a subplot following Frankie’s little sister.  Frankie sees his sister kissing some boy in the playground then she is seen wearing a belly button piercing and beginning to dress provocatively. Hittman discussed how Frankie was upset seeing his sister’s coming of age unfolding so publicly and how easy it seemed for her. Compared to his sister, Frankie is older and still struggling with his own coming of age and feels as if he can’t be as open like his sister. This makes him resent her and take it out on the boy who she is seeing. 
Tumblr media
Frankie surrounds himself with a group of boys who are homeless and seem to use Frankie for pills and weed. Before his father’s death, Frankie is already following a very self destructive path. The film shows how he is angry and confused because of his father becoming ill and dealing with his sexuality. This is destructive behavior is only exacerbated when his father passes. He begins cruising, talking to strange older men online and meeting them in sketchy areas on the beach. This was dangerous and Hittman made sure to portray that. The use of close up and shaky shots that built up tension and an uneasy feeling that makes the audience lean in with anticipation for the worst. Nothing really terrible happens to Frankie other than one man getting way too aggressive. This leaves Frankie feeling used and realizing he has not been acting in a healthy way. Instead of seeking help from his mother he continues to push her away and push further into his destructive ways.
Tumblr media
Frankie’s continuous destructive attitude comes to a climax when he takes his friends to steal weed from a man he met online. He takes advantage of the boy and of the queer space so that he can please his junkie friends. Frankie keeps pushing the boundaries of how low he can go and how damaging he can be. At this climax, Frankie throws away all of his remaining convictions and moral standings. With every step he takes toward his ultimate self inflicted demise, the audience expects and holds on to hope that he will realize his ways and stop before it is too late. Even after he goes through with it, the audience still can not blame Frankie. This is because they understand that all of his actions come from his own ill understood suffering and sadness inflicted due to his father’s death and having to be closeted. 
Hittman uses her film to portray the pain and destructive path which comes from being a closeted as a teenager and to portray the hyper masculinity and closed off subculture of South Brooklyn.
Watch Beach Rats in BAM Rose Cinema in August for their film series “We Can’t Even: Millennials on Film”
