Diary of an African Nun (1977) - Julie Dash Format: 16mm, b/w, 15 min.

A nun in Uganda weighs the emptiness she finds in her supposed union with Christ.  Adapted from a short story by Alice Walker, the film was a deliberate first move by its director toward narrative filmmaking, though its graphic simplicity and pantomimed performance by Barbara O. Jones give it an intensity that anticipates Julie Dash’s work on Daughters of the Dust.

Soleil O (Med Hondo, 1967)

"We had our own civilization. We forged iron. We had our popular dances and songs. We were very good at sculpting wood and working iron, spinning cotton and wool, weaving and basketwork. Our commerce wasn’t just barter. We made gold and silver coins. We had pottery and cutlery. We made our own tools and domestic utensils, using brass, bronze, ivory, quartz and granite. We had our own literature. We had our legal terminology, our religion, our science and our teaching methods."

I know that acting has enormously enriched and rendered more concrete my relationship to writing and to my actors but I cannot precisely explain this relationship. My experience working with Claire Denis on 35 rhums has particularly affected me. I wouldn’t know where what she conveyed to me begins or ends. It’s huge. Claire is just as captivating as her films, as beautiful, as secretive.
