On October 7, 2011, we premiered the first fully timed second answer print of Daughters of the Dust. Below is an abridged version of my opening remarks:
Robert Wheaton’s short A Little Off Mark (1986) tells the story of a young student (Peter Parros) trying to develop his self-confidence and find a girlfriend. Especially in the context of the "L.A. Rebellion" program as a whole, this film is interesting for its sweet and simple nature.
At the panel on Sunday, there were three main issues expressed by the filmmakers of the L.A. Rebellion. Throughout much of their conversation the topics of hope, despair and inspiration were repeated in various contexts.
Along with her lampoon rap video titled A Period Piece (1991), the UCLA Film & Television Archive chose to wrap up the opening weekend of its "L.A. Rebellion" series with director Zeinabu irene Davis’ 1989 short, Cycles (1989). As the end of the opening weekend’s programming, Cycles is a poignant choice.
At tonight’s Q&A session after the films, Zeinabu irene Davis voiced her frustration with her students’ tendency to undervalue the experience of seeing a film in a theater with an audience.
