Director's note:
"Teza provides me with the opportunity to tell the story of those  
African intellectuals who find themselves dislocated by a series of  
complicated historical circumstances. To evade the larger world,  
Anberber, the principal character of Teza, retreats to the land of his  
childhood – even if that becomes the ultimate end of his existence.  
But immediately he is faced with all the socio-economic ills of his  
birthplace, lacking a place to hide. (...) Moreover, his past isn’t  
something he can easily forget either. It belongs to a memory that is  
collective of his generation. Every immigrant, when getting older,  
hears the soundtracks of childhood. (…) The idea of identity and  
liberation is perhaps the defining goal for me and my vision for an  
independent cinema. To tell one’s story is to place one’s name on the  
map of history and to do so while honoring the struggle of
ancestors is essential to ensure that future generations have the  
documentation to create their own blueprint of survival. The history,  
culture and socio-economic well-being of all peoples of African  
descent is my primary concern, but above all the preservation of their  
humanity is the greatest motivation for me as a filmmaker.”

About Haile Gerima:
“Haile Gerima is an independent filmmaker born in Ethiopia in 1946.  
His training as a filmmaker can be said to have begun in Gondar,  
Ethiopia, the place of his birth, where he sat around the fire  
engrossed in the tales told by his parents and grandparents. (…) Since  
1975, Haile Gerima is an Honorary Professor at Howard University in  
Washington, D.C. (…) Haile is perhaps best known as the writer,  
producer and director of Sankofa (1993). With this historically  
inspired dramatic tale of African resistance to slavery he won  
international acclaim.”

kkpd Seminar by Petja Dimitrova:
History of migration. Racism and anti-racist struggles

SCREENING

Duvarlar (Mauern/Walls)
Can Candan, USA/Türkei 2000, 83 min., türk. OF m. deutschen Untertiteln

Mit Mauerfall und Deutscher Einheit hat sich auch das Leben der  
MigrantInnen in Deutschland schlagartig verändert. Von heute auf  
morgen prägten rassistische Anschläge und pogromartige Überfälle den  
Alltag. Die Folgen sind bekannt und nicht vergessen: Auf der einen  
Seite dutzende ermordete MigrantInnen und die de facto Abschaffung des  
Asylrechts, auf der anderen Seite die Kontinuität der Migration und  
ihre Alltagskämpfe. Der zwischen 1989 und 1991 gedrehte Film "Duvarlar  
- Mauern" dokumentiert in einzigartiger Weise die Situation in Berlin  
aus Sicht der türkischsprachigen EinwohnerInnen. (aus: http://kanak-attak.de
