Dreams Of Jogadina directed by Nora Malone - 29 minutes
A portrait scripted from the experiences of Serbian émigré Suzana
Jeremic, Dreams of Jagodina merges experimental dreamlike visuals and
documentary storytelling to intimately explore the mother-daughter
relationship within the context of domestic violence. Using the motif of
Suzana's vivid, recurring nightmares, her haunting family history
unfolds. She makes passionate attempts to end her family's suffering but
when on the verge of womanhood, she must make the most difficult
decision of her life: to assume the role of victim in keeping her family
legacy, or to strike out on her own to create a life that is different.
Another Brother directed by Tami Gold - 60 minutes
A moving biographical portrait of one ordinary yet extraordinary man,
Clarence Fitch. An African American veteran of the Vietnam War, Clarence
was like many veterans in the hardships he endured -- racism, poverty,
substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS -- yet uncommon in his ability to
transform these experiences through a life of political activism. In
telling Clarence's gripping personal story, the film provides a unique
window onto the Vietnam War, racism in America, and a host of social
problems which have ravaged America for the past three decades. The
film is narrated chiefly by Clarence in an audio taped interview by
William Short, a fellow Vietnam veteran, before Clarence's death from
AIDS.
