The latest film from director Ava DuVernay (Selma, 13th, A Wrinkle in Time) is called “Origin.” It follows writer Isabel Wilkerson as she writes the bestselling book “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,” published in 2020. Ava tells Tom what drew her to adapt a book that seemed unadaptable, how she shot the film in under 40 days without the help of a major studio, and how she got her start in the business of filmmaking. A few years ago, Canada lost one of its greatest songwriters — Newfoundland and Labrador's Ron Hynes. Amelia Curran, a fellow Newfoundland songwriter, is now part of a new compilation record that pays tribute to Ron. Amelia talks about the skill that went into his songs, the significance of his music to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the country at large. Plus, you'll hear her cover of one of his songs, “Dark River.”
Over the past 15 years, filmmaker Ava DuVernay (Selma, Queen Sugar) has become something of an institution in Hollywood. As a writer, director, and producer she's worked to make our industry more just and diverse—creating opportunities for voices that have historically been underrepresented both in front and behind the camera. In many ways her latest film, Origin, examines a hierarchy she's worked to upend through a bold body of work. And so we begin today's episode discussing her creative adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson's best-selling book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (7:30) and the timely questions she hopes to pose as we begin 2024 (11:35). Then, Ava reflects on the influence of her Aunt Denise (17:42), what a typical Saturday looked like in the DuVernay household (21:30), her formative years as an underground emcee at UCLA (25:28), and how working on Michael Mann's Collateral (30:59) inspired her to direct. On the back-half, we talk about the making of Ava's first narrative feature I Will Follow (36:20), a life-changing review from Roger Ebert (40:00) and the resulting decade as a director (48:00). We also wade through this past year in Hollywood (43:46), her hopes for ARRAY in the years to come (1:02:14), and the words of Angela Davis that keep her moving forward (1:04:30).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heute wird es sportlich, denn Holger und Rüdiger haben sich drei neue Serien mit Sportbezug vorgeknöpft. Amazon versucht mit "Maradona - Leben wie im Traum" (4:56) das bewegte Leben von Diego Armando Maradona in Serie zu bringen und zugleich ein Zeitkolorit von Argentinien zu liefern. Ein dualer Ansatz, der uns ebenso zu Diskussionen veranlasst wie die ungewöhnliche Erzählweise der Netflix-Miniserie "Colin in Black & White" (28:00). Halb Biopic von Ex-Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, halb von Kapernick vorgetragene Lektion über US-Bürgerrechte, dürfte der Sechsteiler von Ava DuVernay ("Selma") in den USA für heftige Kontroversen sorgen. Das könnte auch für die neue Apple-Serie "Swagger" (47:04) gelten, die von Basketball-Star Kevin Durant konzipiert ist und auf spannende Weise Reizthemen wie Polizeigewalt, Corona und sexuellen Missbrauch in eine Coming-of-Age-Sportserie einarbeitet. Wir verraten welche der drei Serien Gold verdient und welche nur Blech ist.Cold-Open-Frage: "Welche Serie hätte es wie Facebook machen und sich umbenennen sollen?"

On this bonus episode of Kickin’ & Streamin’ Podcast, Jocelyn & Graham discuss the gut-wrenching, absolutely heartbreaking Netflix mini-series “When They See Us,” created, and directed by the phenomenal director Ava Duvernay (Selma). This series tells the story of five teenagers: Korey Wise, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusuf Salaam, and Raymond Santana, four blacks and one Latino who were falsely accused of raping a 28 year-old white Central Park jogger in April of 1989. Jocelyn and Graham make a full disclaimer by telling how neither of them were able to watch the series in its completion due to the inevitable sensation of anger, impotence, and frustration one experiences while watching the series. Jocelyn exhorts young listeners to make sure to watch the series or at least read about the real-life case; which went on to be dubbed “The Central Park 5.” Graham tells Jocelyn how he only learned about The Central Park 5 case during the 2016 election cycle as result of Donald Trump’s candidacy and eventual ascent to the presidency of the United States. The Central Park 5 was a frequent reference during said election cycle because at its height, Donald Trump took a full-page ad in several New York City newspapers demanding the death penalty for the five teenagers. Graham also explains how very little was known about The Central Park 5 case in the Caribbean at the time it occurred because people are taught to idealize the United States as a place where such grave miscarriage of justice doesn’t occur, not in modern times at least; therefore it was more painfully disappointing for Graham to learn The Central Park 5 case was very recent history. The conversation continues and Graham talked about the guilty feelings he experienced after the killing of Trayvon Martin, and Tamir Rice, Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/rss/kickinandstreaminpodcast?auth=QVLr3ZF4bBkffNZls4lBWTuUc2Tb0MD0)

A wrinkle in time combines a popular American children's book with Oprah Winfrey and the landscape around Wanaka. Directed by Ava DuVernay (Selma).
Sandy Butler, coauthor of IT NEVER ENDS: Mothering Middle-Aged Daughters, talks about the challenges for women in remaining close – but not too close – to their daughters as they age. Butler is the author of two previous books, Conspiracy of Silence: The Trauma of Incest; and the Lambda award-winning Cancer in Two Voices. IT NEVER ENDS was a collaboration with Nan Fink Gefen. Then Amy Adrion joins us to discuss her documentary HALF THE PICTURE, which screens at the San Francisco International Film Festival April 7, 9 and 16. Adrion interviews a diverse group of women filmmakers including Ava DuVernay (Selma), Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love & Basketball), Jill Soloway (Transparent), Lena Dunham (Girls) and Karen Kusama (Girlfight). Women make up only 4.5% of directors of top grossing Hollywood films annually; women of color make up 0.06%; and these numbers have not changed in twenty years. And Amanda Salazar, programmer for the 2018 San Francisco International Film Festival, fills us in on other feminist movies and events that are part of this 61st annual festival, the longest-running film festival in the US. 40 films by women and many with strong female-driven story lines are among the 180+ films on offer between April 4 and 17. The post April 2, 2018 – Mothers & Movies appeared first on KPFA.
