ASMARINA: Voices & Images of a Postcolonial Heritage
A documentary by Alan Maglio & Medhin Paolos
Mixed Company and Charitable Film Network is honored to host a presenation of Alan Maglio and Medhin Paolos' documentary film, "Asmarina." Set within the habesha community of Milan, "Asmarina" interrogates the postcolonial heritage of Italy and Eritrea that has been little scrutinized up to now. Starting from the collective memories of the community, the film gathers together the legacy of personal stories, exploring the different shades of identity, migration and the aspirations of the Eritrean/ Ethiopian people. The film explores the everyday life stories of those who have lived in the city for years, those who were born in Italy and refugees who have just arrived.
Admission is FREE
Presented by Charitable Film Network and Mixed Company (www.themixedcompanyproject.tumblr.com) with support from Café Istanbul and the Japan Society of New Orleans.
