The eighth session of a 10 week Celebration of African Culture, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester between February and May 1983. Session chaired by Gareth Richards and panel - including Terence Ranger, Gus John, Angela Martin - answering questions and contributions about Haile Gerima's film 'Harvest'. Different members of the audience give their opinions about the particulars of class and nationality in Ethiopia and the land question. Much discussion about how the film represents life in Ethiopia, and Gus John tries to explain how the film is a general representation of certain issues rather than particular circumstances. The film show discussion is followed by a performance by the band Penket. |
