RFF - "Scandelize My Name: Stereotypes, Image-making, I-miss, Nappy-breaking."
Scandalize My Name: Stereotypes, Image-making, I-miss, Nappy-breaking
Have today's black filmmakers gone awry in creating black images for the screen? Is it easier to make a film that glamorizes black males as players, hustlers, drug-lords, and pimps instead of stock-brokers, fathers, firemen, and teachers? Was JJ from Good Times a positive image when compared to Djay in Hustle and Flow? Do these stereotypes fit into the glorification of violence in media in general (i.e. the run-away hit The Sopranos), and with the negative messages and images of Black males in the media, or do they reflect reality? This engaging panel confronts these questions as we examine the state of Black Film today. This is a discussion that you cannot miss!
