Black History Month Movie Night: 

"Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992"

Please join the AWCH Film Group for a screening of the documentary “Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992,” at Metropolis Kino on Thursday, February 15. Please purchase your own ticket; guests are welcome! We will meet at 6:45 pm in the foyer of Metropolis in order to find seats together. If you’d like to join us for a quick dinner/drink before the film, Diana is making a reservation at a restaurant nearby. 

Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 focuses on Audre Lorde’s relation to the German Black Diaspora, her literary as well as political influence, and is a unique visual document about the times the author spent in Germany. The film is also for coming generations a valuable historical document of German history, which tells about the development of an Afro-German movement and the origins of the anti-racist movement before and after the German reunification. The film relates the beginnings of these political debates and therefore facilitates a historical analysis and an understanding of present debates on identity and racism in Germany. For the first time, Dagmar Schultz’s archival video- and audio recordings and footage will be made available to a wide public. The film represents an important addition to the documentary “A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lorde“ by Ada Gray Griffin and Michelle Parkerson which was screened at the 45th Berlin Film Festival in 1995.
