Read more about Yesterday here: http://southafrica.qc.cuny.edu/yesterday/ Full film series schedule: http://southafrica.qc.cuny.edu/representations-of-south-africa-film-series/ The *Representations of South Africa* film series, part of the core programming for the Year of South Africa at Queens College, consists of six critically acclaimed films focusing on the social and political challenges and rewards of life in South Africa, historically and today. Three of these films – *Come Back, Africa*; *Last Grave at Dimbaza*; and *Mapantsula* – were produced clandestinely in South Africa during apartheid and helped to expose the inhumanity of this regime to the outside world. Three additional films – *Amandla!*, *Yesterday*, and *District 9* – were collaborations between South African and foreign filmmakers that reached a global audience and became internationally known for their portrayals of South Africa during and after apartheid. These six screenings, from Oct. 16 through Dec. 4, will be followed by a joint discussion and critique by Professors Noah Tsika of Queens College and Paula Massood of Brookyn College on Thursday, December 11 at 4:45pm at the Godwin-Ternbach Museum. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Larissa Swedell, Ph.D. Professor, Queens College, City University of New York Doctoral Faculty in Anthropology and Biology, City University of New York Core Faculty, New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology Honorary Research Associate, University of Cape Town http://larissaswedell.org/ http://qc-cuny.academia.edu/LarissaSwedell ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please consider the environment and don't print this e-mail unless you really need to.
