AUDRE LORDE - THE BERLIN YEARS 1984 TO 1992 - on
tour
Third World Newsreel's new acquisition: 1984 to
1992 is now on tour and will be available in the fall from TWN. This new
documentary explores a little-known chapter of the acclaimed Black lesbian
feminist poet and activist Audre Lorde's prolific life, a period in which she
helped ignite the Afro-German Movement and made lasting contributions to the
German political and cultural scene before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall
and the German reunification. Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984-1992 contains
previously unreleased audiovisual material from director Schultz's personal
archive, showing Lorde on and off stage. With testimony from Lorde's colleagues,
students and friends, this film documents Lorde's lasting legacy in Germany.
The film premiered at
the Berlin International Film Festival in February and the recent packed New York
premiere was co-sponsored by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and The Audre Lorde
Project and featured director Schultz, along with poet Ika Hugel Marshall and
Professor Tina Campt, Director of Africana and Women's Studies at Barnard
College. 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of Audre Lorde's passing.
