Seven Songs for Malcolm X

Seven Songs for Malcolm X (1993)

Documentaire

De zevende film van het Black Audio Film Collective voorzag de dood en het leven van de Afro-Amerikaanse revolutionair als een zevendelige studie in iconografie, verteld door romanschrijver Toni Cade Bambara en acteur Giancarlo Espesito. De gestileerde tableaux vivants die het leven van Malcolm herdenken, verwijzen naar de begrafenisfotografie van James Van der Zee’s The Harlem Book of the Dead uit het begin van de 20e eeuw en de elementaire statische cinematografie van Sergei Paradjanovs The Colour of Pomegranates.

Regiseur: John Akomfrah
