In the organizer's words:
ON BLACK HISTORY MONTH
A white family living in the German Democratic Republic in the 1960s explains to their black daughter that her skin color is purely coincidental. The girl also prefers to believe this until she accidentally discovers the truth as a teenager. In an intimate yet critical portrait, Ines Johnson-Spain combines painful and confusing childhood memories with an examination of the social and political implications that bear witness to a culture of rejection and structural racism.
Ines Johnson-Spain is an independent German-Togolese filmmaker based in Berlin.
She studied Religious Studies at the Free University of Berlin (FU) and was a visiting student of Fine Arts and Painting at the Berlin University of the Arts. The autobiographical film "Becoming Black" is her first feature-length film and celebrated its world premiere at the Berlinale 2020.
Germany 2020 by Ines Johnson-Spain, 89 min, documentary, German, French, original version with English subtitles
