Black International Cinema Berlin/Germany, Warsaw/Poland & U.S.A. 2008 XXIII. Black International Cinema Berlin/Germany, Warsaw/Poland & U.S.A. 2008 Black International Cinema Berlin is a yearly interdisciplinary, intercultural film/video festival produced and directed by Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre / THE COLLEGIUM - Forum & Television Program Berlin in association with Cultural Zephyr e.V. and, screens cinema from the African Diaspora and other films from varied intercultural backgrounds or perspectives. Black International Cinema Berlin originated from the Black Cultural Festival, which was produced and directed by Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre in 1986 for the first time in Europe, a 3-week event in Berlin, which presented the contributions of Black people to world culture through film, theater, dance, music, workshops and seminars, and was an homage to the legendary tap dancer, Carnell Lyons. Since then Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre produces and directs the Black International Cinema each year in Berlin and additionally, in other European and US-American cities. The festival focuses on presenting works of an artistic, cultural or political nature coinciding with the general educational, social, artistic and economic interest of people from Africa, the African Diaspora and people with an interest in participating in intercultural communication and the resultant interfacing and sharing of educational, social, artistic and economic resources. Furthermore, Black International Cinema is open to ALL filmmakers and contributes to better understanding and increasing cooperation between people from various cultural, ethnic, national and religious backgrounds, in order to reduce prejudices and support a peaceful and respectful living together in our multi-faceted society.

So, as usual, I wuz sittin' an' stinkin' 'bout now an' the future! Aktually, I wuz thinkin' 'bout a specifik future! Mine! Speakina future, my perents alwayz tell me, peeple wanna no more 'bout me! I don't know why, but Ok. Here goes. I'm 10 years an' a boy, who is forced by his perents to go to borin' skool ev'ry day. Well, at least ev'ry day the dungeon-skool is open an' that feels like ev'ry day! My perents an' the dragon-teecher are alwayz sittin' on my back 'bout my spellin'! But I figure, it's the ideas that count an' not the spellin'! I kin lern that stuff when I'm old, like my perents an' the dragon-teecher. What do I look like, well I look like ev'ry child in the wurl that's imprisoned in a skool they don't like, by deaf perents. I look jes like ev'ry child in the wurl that fits that deskription! So, theresa lotta us! My name is Ev'rychild! Xmas an' New Year are gone, for wut seems like forever, or at least until the end of the year an' a lot kin happen durin' that space an' time, that makes the wait seem like forever! Me an' my pardnurs are back in the dungeon-skool an' under pressure, as usual! You wuld think the dragon-teecher wuld git weaker as she gets older, but no way! She's still relentless with her skool-homework-torture, while all the while claimin' she's doin' it "in the name of education". Man, ain't that sum stuff!? I think she's been listenin' to ol' Stetson Hat too much an' jes cumin' up with all kinda excuses for makin' us kids lives - miserable! I meen, she is the dragon-teecher-homework-queen! She doesn't bite our neck or nothin' like a reel vampire, but she gits the blood an' flesh outta us another way! 'Course, the perents are alwayz on the teecher's side! No matter wut! Teechers kin do no wrong an' plus, "it's only for your future that the teachers are so demanding!" So the perents alwayz sey! For instance, 'cause it is cumin' up 'lektion time, we gotta write sum papers 'bout the kandidates. Not jes one kandidate, but alla them! Ok, I know wut to do in these emergency homework cases - straight to which ever perent is available! I wuz listenin' to a very interesting diskussion between granma, mama an' papa, with my sister chimin' in ev'ry now an' then with her two cents! Ok., I gotta admit, wut she sez sumtimes, makesa lotta sense! So, near as I kin tell, I'm gonna tell the dragon-teecher on paper, sumthin' like this! The peeple are lookin' for a great big change from the mess up time of ol' Stetson Hat an' his crew. So, a change to the correct time looks like this - The man from Illinois is a big favorite in my household an' a welcome relief from ol' Stetson Hat's stumble werk an' stumble mouth. This man kin sey wut he meens an' he's an inspiration to peeple, all over the wurl! Even Caroline Kennedy sed, he's the one an' I guess, it dosen't git much better than that, considerin' her family gave up so much, while tryin' to git America to straighten up an' fly right! So that's wut I lerned from my family discussion and wut I'm gonna sey on paper to the dragon-teecher an' I gotta feelin' that even though she's a kinda zombie, she's gonna like to hear 'bout President Barack Obama. Wow, all this politikin' is exhaustin'. So, I'm gonna sey G'nite I luv you G'nite. Fountainhead Tanz Theatre Copyright, February 2008 PART LXIII Erwachsensein! Eines Tages, wenn ich erwachsen werde! Also, wie üblich war ich am Sitz'n und Stink'n üba jetz' und die Zukunft! Eigentlich dachte ich üba 'ne spezielle Zukunft nach! Meine! Jetz', wo ich's sag, meine Eltern erzähl'n mir imma, dass die Leute mehr üba mich erfahr'n woll'n! Ich weiß nich' warum, aber okay. Hier also. Ich bin 10 Jahre und ein Junge, der von seinen Eltern gezwung'n wird, jeden Tag in die langweilige Schule zu geh'n. Na gut, jedenfalls an jedem Tag, wenn die Kerkerschule offen is', und das fühlt sich an wie jeden Tag! Meine Eltern und die Drachenlehrerin häng'n mir imma im Nacken wegen meiner Rechtschreibung! Aber ich denk ma', es sind die Gedanken, die zähl'n, und nich' die Rechtschreibung! Das Zeugs kann ich lern', wenn ich alt bin, wie meine Eltern und die Drachenlehrerin. Wie seh ich aus, nun, ich seh aus wie jedes Kind in der Welt, das in der Schule, die es nich' mag, eingesperrt is', von tauben Eltern. Ich seh einfach aus wie jedes Kind in der Welt, auf das die Beschreibung passt! Also, da gib's 'ne Menge von uns! Mein Name is' Jedeskind! Weihnachten und Neujahr sind, wie's scheint, seit ewigen Zeiten vorüba, oder zumindest bis zum Ende des Jahres, und da kann 'ne Menge passier'n in Zeit und Raum, was die Wartezeit ewig schein' lässt! Ich und meine Kumpels sind zurück in der Kerkerschule, wie üblich! Man sollte mein', die Drachenlehrerin wird schwächer, je älter sie wird, aber nix da! Sie is' imma noch erbarmungslos mit ihrer Schularbeitenfolter, während sie hin und wieder behauptet, sie mache das "im Namen der Bildung." Mann, is' das nich' 'n Ding!? Ich glaub, sie hat olle Texashut zu viel zugehört und denkt sich nur alle möglichen Entschuldigungen aus, um das Leben von uns Kindern jämmerlich zu mach'n! Ich find, sie ist die Drachenlehrerinhausaufgabenkönigin! Sie beißt uns nich' in den Hals oder sowas wie 'n richtiger Vampir, aber sie kriegt das Blut und Fleisch aus uns auf 'ne and're Art 'raus! 'Türlich sind die Eltern imma auf der Lehrerseite! Egal was! Lehrer könn' nix falsch mach'n und dann: "Es ist nur für deine Zukunft, weshalb die Lehrer so fordernd sind!" Das sagen Eltern imma! Zum Beispiel, weil bald Wahlen sind, soll'n wir 'n paar Aufsätze üba die Kandidaten schreib'n. Nich' nur üba einen, sondern üba alle! Okay, ich weiß, was ich in diesen Hausaufgabennotfällen zu tun hab - direkt zu einem Elternteil, das grad da is'! Ich hab 'ne sehr interessante Diskussion zwischen Oma, Mama und Papa gehört, mit meiner Schwester, die ab und zu ihren Senf dazu gab! Okay, ich muss zugeb'n, was sie manchma' sagt, is' sehr sinnvoll! Also, so weit ich das sag'n kann, werd ich der Drachenlehrerin in meinem Aufsatz irgendwas wie das hier schreib'n! Die Leute such'n nach 'ner bedeutenden großen Veränderung gegenüba der Vermasselzeit von olle Texashut und seiner Mannschaft. Also, eine Wende zu der korrekten Zeit sieht wie dies aus - Der Mann aus Illinois is' ein großer Favorit bei mir zuhause und 'ne große Befreiung von olle Texashuts Stolperwerk und Verhaspelsprache. Dieser Mann kann sag'n, was er meint, und er is' 'ne Inspiration für Menschen auf der ganzen Welt! Sogar Caroline Kennedy sagte, er is' es, und ich glaub, da gibt's nix besseres als das, wenn man denkt, wieviel ihre Familie aufgegeb'n hat, als sie vasucht hat, Amerika aufzuricht'n und in die richtige Richtung zu beweg'n! So, das hab ich aus meiner Familiendiskussion gelernt und das werd ich im Aufsatz der Drachenlehrerin sag'n. Ich hab das Gefühl, obwohl sie 'ne Art Zombie is', wird sie gern was üba Präsident Obama hör'n. Wow, dieses ganze Politikisier'n is' erschöpfend. Also sag ich ma' 'Nacht Hab euch lieb 'Nacht Fountainhead Tanz Theatre Copyright, Februar 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE COLLEGIUM TELEVISION PROGRAM BERLIN produced & directed by/produziert und geleitet von Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre/Black International Cinema Berlin/Cultural Zephyr e.V. * LIVE * LIVE * LIVE * LIVE * LIVE * LIVE * Sundays 9-10 pm / 21-22 Uhr Offener Kanal Berlin (OKB), Open Channel Berlin THE COLLEGIUM TRAILER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQOIc5EqqGw THE COLLEGIUM Television Program is televised in Berlin, Magdeburg and Wolfsburg.

So as usual, I wuz sittin' an' stinkin' 'bout evrythin' an' nothin'! An' as usual, the dragon-teecher is on my back as alwayz, botherin' me 'bout sumthin' or other? She's always givin' me these kompliments loaded with nails inem! She sez she likes my ideas, but my spellin' is awful! I mean, I'm only a kid, what does she expect? My ideas are on the paper, so why do I have to spell so perfekt? It's the ideas that kount! They got komputer's to correct spellin'! Man, it's always sumthin' - plus she sed she'd contact my perents if my spellin' didn't improve! Mano, dragon-teechers are spies, tattle tales an' slave drivers, all rolled into one! Wut a kombination! Sheda bin great in politics an' stuff, 'specially workin' for ol' Stetson Hat!' As my father sez: "If it weren't for bad luck, ol' Stetson Hat wouldn't have any luck at all! And what's really bad about it, he likes to take a lot of people in the world with him on his bad luck trips! Boy, I hope the voters learned their lesson about choosing Hats more carefully in the future!" Wow, I don't think my papa likes ol' Stetson Hat very much! But hmmm, maybe I kin use his ideas for a dragon-teecher paper an' that'll sure help my grade an' give me sum breathin' room! It's almos' holiday time an' with a little luck, maybe we'll getta reel big snowstorm an' it'll shut the skools for a lotta days! Man, that'll be great! Plus, they culd save a lotta money on heatin' all those big dull skool rooms! Hmmm, maybe I shuld suggest closin' the skools to save money on heatin' oil? The dragon-teecher will think I'm a humanetarien or sumthin' helpful like that an' I betcha she won't catch on, that I reely wanna get me an' my pardnurs outta those dungeon skools! If I kin get this brilliant plan to work, kids all over the wurl'll thank me - forever! Man, am I smart! All this smartness is makin' me tired. So, I'm gonna say G'nite I luv you G'nite. Fountainhead Tanz Theatre Copyright, December 2007 PART LXII Erwachsensein! Eines Tages, wenn ich erwachsen werde! Also, wie üblich war ich am Sitz'n und Stink'n üba alles und nix! Und wie üblich sitzt mir die Drachenlehrerin im Nacken, wie immer, und quält mich mit irgendwas oder was and'rem? Sie macht mir immer diese Komplimente voll mit diesen Spitzen! Sie sagt, ihr gefall'n meine Ideen, aber meine Rechtschreibung is' grauenhaft! Ich mein, ich bin nur ein Kind, was erwartet sie? Meine Gedanken sind auffem Papier, also warum soll ich so perfekt buchstabier'n? Sind doch die Ideen, die zähl'n! Die hab'n doch Komputer fürs korrekte Buchstabier'n! Mann, irgendwas is' imma - und sie sagt, sie spricht mit mein' Eltern, wenn meine Rechtschreibung sich nich' vabessert! Manno, Drachenlehrer sind Spione, Tratschtanten und Sklaventreiber, alles auf einma'! Was 'ne Kombi! Sie wäre super inner Politik und so'n Zeugs, besonders, wenn sie für olle Texashut arbeit'n würde! Wie mein Vater sagt: "Wenn es kein Unglück gäbe, hätte olle Texashut überhaupt kein Glück! Und was die Sache wirklich schlimm macht, ist, dass er gerne eine Menge Leute auf der Welt mit sich ins Unglück laufen lässt! Junge, ich hoffe, die Wähler haben ihre Lektion gelernt, in der Zukunft die Hüte sorgfältiger zu wählen!" Wow, ich glaube, mein Papa mag olle Texashut nich' besonders! Aber, mmmh, vielleicht kann ich seine Gedanken für'n Drachenlehrerin-Aufsatz benutzen und das hilft bestimmt meiner Note und gibt mir Zeit zum Lufthol'n! Is' schon fast Ferjenzeit und mit ein bißchen Glück bekomm' wir 'n richtig großen Schneesturm und die Schulen werd'n für viele Tage geschloss'n! Mann, das wär' großartig! Und sie könnt'n 'ne Menge Geld an der Heizung für diese großen dämlichen Schulräume spar'n! Mmmh, vielleicht sollte ich vorschlag'n, die Schule zu schließ'n, um Geld für Heizöl zu spar'n? Die Drachenlehrerin wird denk'n, ich bin ein Humanitärer oder irgend sowas hilfreiches wie das, und ich wette, sie wird's nich schnall'n, dass ich nur mich und meine Kumpels aus dieser Kerkerschule befrei'n will! Wenn ich diesen brillianten Plan zum Lauf'n krieg'n kann, werd'n mir die Kinder auf der ganzen Welt dankbar sein - für immer! Mann, bin ich klug! Dieses ganze Klugsein macht mich müde. Also sag ich 'Nacht Hab euch lieb' 'Nacht.

So as usual, I wuz sittin' an' stinkin' 'bout skool an' weather an' me an' ev'rythin' connected with these reel important things! I feel the weather turnin' cold an' see the leaves gittin' red an' brown an' shriviled an' old an' fallin' down an' it kinda reminds me of my granma. Sumtimes she's not feelin' so well an' she kinda gits outta breath an' doesn't have the time to play with me an' talk to me like she used too, when I wuz a little kid!? Mama explained to me that, "grandmother is getting older and she still loves you very much. As much as when you were younger, but she doesn't have the strength and energy like she did when she was younger and so she has to rest more and take care of her health. So you have to be patient with your grandmother and help provide the care for her, just as she provided care for you, when you were younger and still cares for you today, as best she can!" Wow, I feel like I havta do more for granma, but I'm not sure wut I'm s'posed to do? I'm already nice to her an' we're both gittin' older, so we're kinda even on that point! But OK, I guess she's in fronta me in the age race! But that's only, 'cause she wuz here before me, so she's the leader, naturly! Maybe me, granma an' the leaves are all in this stuff together an' each of us is doin' stuff, as good as we can, as time is goin' by! Wow, that's sum heavy thinkin' stuff an' kinda has poetry in it, too! So maybe I kin use this poetry stuff with the dragon-teecher at the dungeon skool an' make the time go faster in that place, with that dragon-teecher person? Plus, maybe I kin git sum extra credit for my ideas? Yeah, that oughta work! Man, all this sittin' an' stinkin' an' poetryizin' is exhaustin' an' makes me sleepy. So, I'm gonna say G'nite I luv you G'nite. Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre Copyright, November 2007 PART LXI Erwachsensein! Eines Tages, wenn ich erwachsen werde! Also, wie üblich war ich am Sitz'n und Stink'n üba die Schule und das Wetter und mich und alles, was mit diesen wirklich wichtigen Sachen was zu tun hat! Ich merk, dass das Wetter kalt wird, und seh, wie die Blätter rot werd'n und braun und schrumpelig und alt und runter fall'n, und irgendwie erinnert mich das an meine Oma. Manchma' geht es ihr nich' so gut und sie bekommt irgendwie schlecht Luft und hat keine Zeit, um mit mir zu spiel'n und zu red'n, wie sie es sonst getan hat, als ich ein kleines Kind war? Mama erklärte mir: "Oma wird älter und sie liebt dich immer noch sehr. Genauso viel wie in der Zeit, als du jünger warst, aber sie hat nicht die Kraft und Energie, die sie hatte, als sie jünger war, und deswegen muss sie sich mehr ausruhen und auf ihre Gesundheit achten. Also solltest du mit deiner Oma Geduld haben und dabei helfen, dass für sie gesorgt wird, genauso wie sie sich um dich gekümmert hat, als du jünger warst, und sich heute noch um dich kümmert, so gut sie kann!" Wow, ich merk, dass ich mehr für Oma tun muss, aber ich bin mir nich' sicher, was ich tun soll? Ich bin schon nett zu ihr und wir werd'n beide älter, also sind wir an dem Punkt irgendwie gleich! Aber, okay, ich denk ma', in dem Rennen ums Alter is' sie mir voraus! Aber das auch nur, weil sie vor mir hier war, also is' sie in Führung, 'türlich! Vielleicht steck'n ich, Oma und die Blätter in dieser Sache zusammen drin und jeder von uns macht was, so gut wir könn'n, während die Zeit vageht! Wow, das is' echt schweres Zeugs zum Nachdenk'n und hat irgendwie auch was poetisches! So, vielleicht kann ich diesen Poetenkram bei der Drachenlehrerin in der Kerkerschule gebrauch'n und mach, dass die Zeit schneller vageht an diesem Ort mit dieser Person von Drachenlehrerin? Und, vielleicht bekomm ich 'n paar Extrapunkte für meine Ideen? Ja, das sollte funktionier'n! Mann, dieses ganze Sitz'n und Stink'n und Poesier'n is' anstrengend und macht mich müde. Also sag ich 'Nacht Hab euch lieb' 'Nacht.
