Muziek van Abel Korzeniowski bij de film Till - een drama van de Amerikaanse cineaste Chinonye Chukwu met een hoofdrol voor actrice Danielle Deadwyler. De film draait om de nasleep van het waargebeurde verhaal van de veertienjarige Emmett Till, die in 1955 op gruwelijke wijze wordt gelyncht door een witte menigte. Emmett zou hebben geflirt met een winkelbediende, en dat is voor een Afro-Amerikaanse tiener een doodzonde in het Mississippi van de jaren vijftig. De muziek is van de Poolse componist Abel Korzeniowski (geboren in 1972), en draagt veel bij aan de emotionele lading van de film. Een hoofdrol in de orkestratie is weggelegd voor de strijkers, er zit een goed aandeel piano in, maar andere instrumenten blijven beperkt tot het toevoegen van wat extra kleur. Heel melodieuze muziek, die nergens over the top is, en simpelweg doet wat het moet doen: de diepte van de emotie voelbaar maken.

INTERVIEW - En 1955, dans le Mississippi, Emmett Till, un adolescent afro-américain, est lynché, après avoir sifflé une femme blanche. Sa mort va constituer un point de bascule dans le combat pour les droits civiques aux Etats-Unis. Pour le comprendre, l'historienne Virginie Girod reçoit le journaliste spécialiste des Etats-Unis Gilles Biassette. Au moment de la mort d'Emmett Till, "on est encore au plein cœur de la ségrégation qui sévit dans le sud des États-Unis", rappelle Gilles Biassette, grand reporter à La Croix. "Au lendemain de la guerre de Sécession perdue par le Sud, les États du Sud ont mis en place ce qu'on a appelé les lois Jim Crow, qui ont fait de fait des Noirs des citoyens de seconde zone avec des droits différents, inférieurs, vivant séparément des Blancs. C'est une forme d'apartheid", résume encore le journaliste spécialiste des Amériques. Pour lutter contre ces discriminations raciales, une organisation est en première ligne : la NAACP. "C'est véritablement l'organisation pionnière du combat pour les droits civiques aux États-Unis. Elle est née au début du XXᵉ siècle et elle est née aussi après toute une série de lynchages et d'émeutes anti-Noirs, y compris dans le Nord", indique Gilles Biassette. Et d'ajouter : "La première stratégie de la NAACP, c'était de faire du lobbying auprès du gouvernement à Washington. Mais un axe central de sa politique a aussi été d'attaquer devant les tribunaux cette division qui justifiait la ségrégation. C'était un travail d'avocat essentiellement, avec des cas plus ou moins célèbres". Parmi eux donc : Emmett Till. Cette interview a été produite à l'occasion de la sortie en salles le 8 février 2023 du film "Emmett Till, le visage d'une révolution", réalisé par Chinonye Chukwu, avec Danielle Deadwyler et Whoopi Goldberg.
Ecoutez la suite du récit consacré au combat de Mamie Till-Mobley pour obtenir justice après la mort de son fils Emmett Till, lynché à l'âge de 14 ans dans le contexte de la ségrégation aux Etats-Unis, dans les années 1950. Trois jours après avoir sifflé une épicière blanche à Money, petite ville du Mississippi, Emmett est battu à mort par le mari et le beau-frère de cette femme. Alors en plein deuil, Mamie Till obtient le rapatriement du cadavre de son fils à Chicago. Les Pompes funèbres lui livrent une boîte fermée sous le crépitement des flashs des photographes. La mort d'Emmett Till est un révélateur brutal : les Américains prennent conscience de la réalité de la vie des Noirs dans le Sud des Etats-Unis où les lois "Jim Crow" font autorité depuis l'abolition de l'esclavage. Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "Au cœur de l'Histoire", Virginie Girod raconte comment Mamie Till va œuvrer à sa façon pour accélérer la lutte pour les droits civiques. Ce récit a été produit à l'occasion de la sortie en salles le 8 février 2023 du film "Emmett Till, le visage d'une révolution", réalisé par Chinonye Chukwu, avec Danielle Deadwyler et Whoopi Goldberg.Sujets abordés : Jim Crow Laws - ségrégation Etats-Unis - discriminations raciales - mouvement américain des droits civiques - lutte des Noirs américains - NAACP - abolition de l'esclavage - Etats confédérés - Rosa Parks - Malcom X - Martin Luther King.

Ecoutez le récit historique consacré à l'histoire d'Emmett Till, l'adolescent afro-américain qui est devenu, à sa mort, le visage de la lutte pour l'abolition des discriminations raciales aux Etats-Unis, dans les années 1950. A l'époque, les anciens Etats confédérés du Sud des Etats-Unis sont soumis à une forme de ségrégation en vertu des lois "Jim Crow", qui interdisent aux Noirs et aux Blancs de se mélanger dans la majorité des lieux publics. En 1955, alors qu'il est en vacances dans le Mississippi et qu'il sort d'une épicerie, Emmett Till, 14 ans, siffle une femme blanche. Ce geste, banal en apparence, lui vaut d'être lynché. Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "Au cœur de l'Histoire", l'historienne Virginie Girod s'appuie sur les témoignages des protagonistes de l'affaire pour raconter l'histoire d'Emmett Till dans le contexte de ségrégation aux Etats-Unis. Ce récit a été produit à l'occasion de la sortie en salles le 8 février 2023 du film "Emmett Till, le visage d'une révolution", réalisé par Chinonye Chukwu, avec Danielle Deadwyler et Whoopi Goldberg.Sujets abordés : Jim Crow Laws - ségrégation Etats-Unis - discriminations raciales - mouvement américain des droits civiques - lutte des Noirs américains - NAACP - abolition de l'esclavage - Etats confédérés - Rosa Parks - Malcom X - Martin Luther King.

Shamima Begum left the UK in 2015. Now, for the first time, we have a better idea of what she might have been doing in the four years between then and her re-appearance in a camp in Syria in 2019. We know that she has married an IS fighter, had three children and lost three children in the last eight years – but what else happened? Nuala McGovern is joined by the BBC's Josh Baker, host of the podcast I'm Not A Monster: The Shamima Begum Story and Dr Gina Vale, a lecturer of Criminology at the University of Southampton who specialises in terrorism. Danielle Deadwyler's extraordinary portrayal of the civil rights activist Mamie Till-Mobley in Chinonye Chukwu's Till (2022) has earned her a BAFTA nomination for Best Leading Actress. The film tells the true story of Mamie's pursuit of justice after her 14-year-old son, Emmett Till, was tortured and lynched in 1955. Mamie insists that the casket containing her son's brutalised body be left open to show the nation what was done to him. Danielle joins Nuala McGovern to discuss grief, Mamie's legacy, and the ongoing fight for civil rights. As low-slung trousers come back into fashion and high-waists are all the rage we ask how fashion, age and generation determine where our trousers sit and how we feel about it. Hannah Rogers Assistant Fashion Editor for The Times joins Nuala. In 1993, aged twenty, Carmel Mc Mahon left Ireland for New York, carrying $500, two suitcases and a ton of emotional baggage. It took years, and a bitter struggle with alcohol addiction, to unpick the intricate traumas of her past and present. Carmel has now written a book, In Ordinary Time: Fragments of a Family History.

Award Season is here! To kick it off, the Golden Globe nominations were announced yesterday. The ceremony will be broadcast once again in January after not being televised last year due to a boycott over claims of both payola and a disturbing lack of diversity. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association - the organization behind the Globes - promises that they are changing their ways. But that's debatable - the list of nominations for Best Film Director had no women on it. Adding to the controversy surrounding the Golden Globes will be one notable no-show… Best Actor nominee Brendan Fraser. He is boycotting the Globes over his claims that he was sexually assaulted by a former HFPA president. So are the Golden Globes really changing their ways, or is it just a lot of talk?Break down the latest hot goss with Brooke and Aricia on Rich and Daily, every Monday through Friday, or listen add free on Wondery+.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Larry Mantle and KPCC film critics Amy Nicholson, Andy Klein and Charles Solomon review this weekend's new movie releases in theaters, streaming, and on demand platforms.

Different from other films on the subject, director Chinonye Chukwu makes a point to never show the lynching, but chooses to focus on the aftermath, particularly Mamie's insistence on an open-casket funeral. Mamie wanted the world to see what white hate looked like, even allowing photographers to take pictures of her son's battered face and body. This decision ultimately transformed her into a Civil Rights pioneer. Today on FilmWeek, KPCC's John Horn sits down with the film's director Chinonye Chukwu as well as the head of Orion Pictures, Alana Mayo, to discuss the process of bringing ‘Till' to the screen.
Based on the true story of Mamie Till, Till follows Mamie as she seeks justice for the brutal lynching of her son, Emmett Till. When asked about how she chose to capture Mamie's spirit on the page, Chukwu says, "It's not just resiliency; it is survival, it is an active suppression of certain emotions that Black women are constantly put in a position of having to do; it is a difference between the public and the private self. Mamie was acutely aware of that... when I'm constructing scenes, I am always thinking about masks - who are they when they're all alone? ... Who is Mamie when she's by herself?" Chukwu goes on to discuss coping with the weight of telling such heavy stories: "Writing these stories that I've written so far, when I write it in a deeply spiritual, all immersive process... I live, breathe, dream whatever it is that I'm writing, and that takes a deep emotional and spiritual toll, and I'm not really good with self-care when I'm writing... Prioritize your own self-care as well - in the writing and in the aftermath." Till is now playing in theaters. Don't forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!

"Till" had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Danielle Deadwyler's lead performance and the direction from Chinonye Chukwu. Chukwu had already impressed many of us a few years ago with her work on "Clemency." Still, here, she's telling a true, emotionally grueling story that needs to respect the family's wishes, be period accurate, and do it all without alienating the audience. How did she face all of these challenges? Please take a listen to our interview with her down below to find out. Enjoy, and thank you. Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

The image of Emmett Till's mutilated corpse, murdered by white supremcists in 1955, changed the course of the Civil Rights movement. That change came because of Mamie Till, Emmett's mother, who, despite her personal tragedy, knew what it could do for others. “She is the progenitor of a civil rights legacy that allowed for so many other acts of activism to occur,” Danielle Deadwyler, who plays Mamie in Till (in theaters, October 14) told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. On today's episode, Danielle Deadwyler and Chinonye Chukwu, the director of ‘Till,' join Scott to talk about the film, why it's so important, and what they hope people will take from the film.

The 60th edition of the New York Film Festival, currently in progress through October 16th, recently hosted the World Premiere of Chinonye Chukwu's powerful new drama, Till, in the festival's Spotlight section. Till tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley, the Chicago woman whose son, Emmett Till, was lynched while visiting cousins in Mississippi and whose body became an indelible image of the horrors of American racism. Employing a direct, unflinching, yet sensitive gaze, Chukwu has created the definitive drama of this woman's grief and resilience, and in an astonishing performance, Danielle Deadwyler captures both a mother's indescribable heartbreak and her inspiring ascension to the role of civil rights activist. Till is a momentous reminder of an ever-present tragedy, featuring painstaking production design, subtly expressive camera framing and composition, and a note-perfect supporting cast, including Sean Patrick Thomas, Jalyn Hall, Tosin Cole, John Douglas Thompson, Frankie Faison, and Whoopi Goldberg. Listen to the press conference below with director Chinonye Chukwu, producer and co-writer Keith Beauchamp, and cast members Danielle Deadwyler, Whoopi Goldberg, Jalyn Hall, John Douglas Thompson, and Sean Patrick Thomas, moderated by NYFF Main Slate selection committee member, Rachel Rosen.

Woodard co-starred in Lifetime's hit remake of Steel Magnolias, for which she was nominated for Screen Actors Guild and Emmy Awards, and won a NAACP Image Award for her performance as Ouiser.Most recently, she appeared in the acclaimed drama 12 Years A Slave, directed by Steve McQueen, and Marvel's Captain America: Civil War, plus New Line's Annabelle, and the Netflix Original feature Juanita, as the title character.

Jackson.In 2009, President Barack Obama appointed her to his President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. As part of her work on the Committee, Woodard adopted several high poverty and under-performing public schools around the country.She is an active advocate for the arts in education, largely through her work on the Committee's "Turnaround Arts" initiative, which was launched in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education and the White House Domestic Policy Council to narrow the achievement gap and increase student engagement through the arts. Now based in the Kennedy Center, Turnaround Arts is spurring the creativity, expanding the scholarship, nurturing the citizenship, and introducing possibility in the lives of 50,000 kids, while turning around 80 formerly 'at risk' schools nationwide.She says acting is her profession, but feels everyone's real job "is to learn how to love each other - in our households, in our communities," she has said. "We do that by working for justice."Woodard is unfazed by the glitz of celebrity, but is grateful for its opportunity to "get her to the mic". She remains fueled by the values she learned growing up in Tulsa.In November 2014, she was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and took the opportunity to credit her parents in her acceptance remarks. Her parents, always mindful of the hardship of others, "planted the seed of humanity" in her as a child. "They allowed me artistic as well as personal freedom. They didn't say 'go out and conquer' or 'go out and accumulate,' they just said 'Go. Do it. Be it. Be yourself. Fill yourself all the way up, Alfre, and never, ever forget your neighbor.'"

Cinematographer Eric Branco discovered early on that he enjoyed translating people's stories into visuals. Eric started out as an actor in high school, but quickly realized no one had any interest in holding the camera except himself. While in film school, he developed an eye and shot several student projects, then found work on film sets in New York as a grip and gaffer while shooting short films on the side. Eric's latest film, The 40-Year-Old Version was shot almost entirely on black and white film stock. Director Radha Blank was very firm that the movie be black and white- in fact, when Eric received the script, it read “A New York tale in black and white.” So Eric came with a suitcase full of black and white photo books of New York when he and Radha met, which helped them arrive at The 40-Year-Old Version's look: a matte texture with a prominent grain. Eric ran several tests to find the perfect film stock for the movie, and shot it handheld with vintage lenses. The movie is a funny, semi-autobiographical story starring Blank as a struggling, almost-40 playwright who is determined not to sell out or compromise her artistic principles and reinvigorates her creativity by becoming a hip-hop artist. The 40-Year-Old Version won the U.S Dramatic Competition Directing Award for Blank at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020. For Eric, it was the third film he'd shot to go to Sundance in as many years. He felt honored to be the cinematographer of Clemency, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2019. Written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu, Clemency took a long time to get off the ground before Alfre Woodard was cast in the lead role. You can watch The 40-Year-Old Version streaming on Netflix.

O que aconteceu com Clemency? Vencedor do grande prêmio do júri no Festival de Sundance - onde fez história por se tornar o primeiro campeão do evento que é dirigido por uma mulher negra - e indicado a três categorias do último Spirit Awards, o longa teve uma passagem discreta nos Estados Unidos, mas no Brasil nem isso conseguiu, estreando discretamente na locação digital mais de sete meses depois de sua participação no “Oscar independente”. E isso nem é o mais estarrecedor, se considerar que a produção sequer ganhou um título nacional.É um caminho tortuoso para um projeto tão sólido em sua premissa. Estreia de Chinonye Chukwu na direção de longas-metragens, Clemency vai fundo na questão da pena de morte nos Estados Unidos pelo ângulo daqueles que são condenados a um fim tão cruel, mas também o olhar de quem é obrigado a executar o procedimento.No Cinemático 132, Carlos Merigo e Pedro Strazza conversam sobre o filme e discutem os estranhos caminhos da distribuição de cinema no Brasil, além de bater o martelo sobre uma questão crucial: afinal, chorou ou não chorou?=====O Cinemático é uma produção B9Apresentação: Carlos MerigoCoordenação Geral: Carlos Merigo, Ju Wallauer e Cris BartisProdução: Bia FiorottoPauta e Pesquisa: Carlos Merigo e Hiago ViníciusEdição e Sonorização: Alexandre Pottaschef e Mariana LeãoCoordenação Digital: Agê Barros, Pedro Strazza, Lucas de Britto e Hiago VinicusAtendimento e Comercialização: Rachel Casmala, Camila Mazza e Telma Zenaro

Fiona Walsh Heinz redefines multi-tasking. Prior to our interview starting, she juggled making snacks and getting her 21-month-old daughter ready for an outing with dad so we could record WHILE growing another human inside her. NO. BIG. DEAL. It was inspiring to witness a producer, a mom, a pregnant woman…in her power. Originally from the Bay Area, Fiona has 14 years of experience in feature films, documentary and episodic television. She co–produced Chinonye Chukwu’s CLEMENCY which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2019, Emerald Fennell’s PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN which premiered at Sundance 2020 and Miguel Arteta’s BEATRIZ AT DINNER which premiered at Sundance 2017. A fellow scorpio, we’ve had similar paths as physical producers earning our stripes in the trenches of indie filmmaking. She’s raw, she’s real, she drops many F bombs. She’s a gal after my own heart. Fiona gets into the nitty gritty of creative vs physical producing. She opens up about setting out to be a capital P producer and then finding herself in the physical producer track. She gives an extremely thorough explanation of how a line producer differs from the UPM (unit production manager) role; two jobs that are often done by the same person. Fiona also dishes on balancing motherhood with production and the advice she wishes she was given when she started out.

Writer/Director Chinonye Chukwu and Actors Alfre Woodard and Aldis Hodge discuss their film CLEMENCY with moderator Scott Mantz. Recorded at the Landmark in Los Angeles on 12/27/19. Years of carrying out death row executions have taken a toll on prison warden Bernadine Williams (Alfre Woodard). As she prepares to execute another inmate, Bernadine must confront the psychological and emotional demons her job creates, ultimately connecting her to the man she is sanctioned to kill. Written and directed by Chinonye Chukwu.
"Clemency" debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and has been making its way through various other festivals before opening in limited release this past week. At its center is a wonderful performance from Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard but under the strong direction of Chinonye Chukwu. That direction and vision guides other elements of the film, including its understated but nonetheless effective cinematography by Eric Branco. Eric was kind enough to take a few minutes to talk about his work on the film and how to helped guide Chukwu's vision. Take a listen down below.

The guests on the last episode of 2019 include the team behind a new dramatic film about the emotional toll on one death row warden, "Clemency" director Chinonye Chhuku & actor Aldis Hodge; also the director of the new documentary "What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael", Rob Garver stops by.
Clemency is one of the last films to be released in 2019, and it's one of the best films of 2019. This week we talk to the film's director, Chinonye Chukwu, and the film's stars, Alfre Woodard and Aldis Hodge.You know all the cliches of death-row movies: the cruel warden, the Jesus imagery, the lawyers who clear their client at the last second. Clemency knows them too, and subverts them in favor of a nuanced and honest look at the fundamental problem with the death penalty. It doesn't preach. It doesn't need to.Woodard plays a warden completely different from every other we've seen on film, and Hodge plays a condemned man who makes us feel every agonizing moment of his countdown. But please skip the Hodge interview, which comes last, if you haven't yet seen "Clemency." The film is in theaters December 27.Here are highlights of the episode, with timestamps:1:15: Alfre Woodard interview begins1:27: She explains why so many wardens come from the fields of mental health or social work.4:15: "Every time we do it, it puts a stain on our soul as a culture, as a nation. Especially a nation where we call ourselves a nation of faith. ... It's a breach for everybody."8:25: Alfre Woodard on meeting death row inmates in her research for the film: "It was the most humbling experience I've ever had in my life."11:01: "You just have to kiss yourself up to God. Anything can happen."15:48: Chinonye Chukwu interview begins.16:30: "Regardless of innocence or guilt, do we as a society have a right to kill?"18:03: "I don't need to justify his humanity. ... I really tasked myself to craft a narrative where we don't really know if this person's innocent or guilty and we don't know very much about his past. We are just staying with him in the present." 20:15: Why she chose to cast black actors as both the warden and the inmate: "I thought that if the warden is white and the person on death row is black, then the racial dynamics become the narrative, and not an interrogation of the prison space and the practice of capital punishment and the system of incarceration."20:50: How she captured the feeling of the prison.23:38: We talk about witnessing an actual execution.30:00: We discuss the Golden Globes not nominating any female filmmakers in the best directing categories.31:45: "We all should support the films that don't get supported by these structures and entities."33:32: "We have to be willing to use our privileges and access for those who aren't as privileged. And sometimes it is sacrifice but that's what we have to do sometimes in order to move forward."34:00: CLEMENCY SPOILERS FOLLOW.35:00: Aldis Hodge interview begins.35:35: "It's not about him committing a crime. It's about us as a society feeling justified to commit a crime that we shroud in the identity of true justice."41:02: Audio quality improves thanks to a microphone switch. Thanks for your patience.42:38: "I want art to be part of the progressive conversation."45:00: We talk about Aldis Hodge's watchmaking, and why he's pursuing it.

Writer/director Chinonye Chukwu speaks with DPIC Senior Director of Research and Special Projects Ngozi Ndulue about her award-winning new film, Clemency. Chukwu discusses her inspiration for the story, the years-long process of research and immersion that helped her shape the narrative, and her hopes for how this film will be received. Clemency stars Alfre Woodard as death-row prison warden Bernadine Williams and Aldis Hodge as death-row prisoner Anthony Woods. The film focuses on Bernadine, Chukwu explains, and “navigates her emotional and psychological down spiral as she prepares to execute … Woods.” Clemency won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Drama at the Sundance Film Festival in February 2019, the first time the award has been given to a movie directed by an African-American woman.

Women as survivors of heroin addiction, sexual abuse and rejection by society. These movie topics may not be anything new — but the screenwriters are. They are incarcerated women at the Dayton Correctional Institution, and their films will soon come to life thanks to a pioneering Wright State University-supported project. The “Pens to Pictures” project was launched and orchestrated by writer and director Chinonye Chukwu, assistant professor of motion pictures at Wright State. The five films are women-centered, with many of them portraying women discovering themselves. “Each woman wrote a script, and they are delicious. Their stories are some of the best stories I have ever read,” said Chukwu. “I don’t think people in society in general have really heard the voices of those who are incarcerated. We don’t humanize them. We don’t even think about them.” “Bang” portrays a woman who has been rejected by nearly everyone, has two starving children, no job and has been pushed to the limit. “Love or Loyalty” examines the bonds that are formed between women in prison. “Trans-Parent” explores the complicated relationship between a mother and a daughter. “The Devastating Game” examines the psychological and emotional complexities of sexual abuse. “For They Know Not” chronicles the story of a woman battling heroin addiction. “It’s tough stuff,” said Chukwu. “I think people are going to be blown away.”
