“For me, the creative or productive times are a rather small part of my life, because it’s really about all of the other stuff around that. I’m only able to sit down and focus and produce because I do a lot of other stuff. It’s from all the other stuff that I get the energy and the inspiration to produce something.” - Sofie Birch

Zeinabu Irene Davis - “A powerful Thang” (1991)

I came across this film while browsing through what is leaving Criterion Channel at the end of the month. I’m glad to have watched it and had not heard of Davis before. The acting is sometimes stiff and the script felt a bit rough around the edges, but thanks to the lead actress, Asma Feyijinmi, the film remains charismatic with a vibrancy and vitality pulsing through its exploration of sex, intimacy, race, gender, and culture. I love the story Davis is telling here, and I love learning of the creative stories black filmmakers put out before the neoliberal machine began overdetermining black films as best served didactically and centered on “representation”.

I will definitely check out Davis’ short films before they leave Criterion, too.
