Film Screening:CES Film. At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)
2021-01-18 00:00 - 23:59 | Off Campus Location
Sheri Hagen, director. In German with English subtitles (92 min., 2012).

Through its engagement with blindness as both a trope and a physical reality, Sheri Hagen’s *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* raises provocative questions regarding color blindness, race and racism, and in/visibility in contemporary German society. By challenging the normative category of whiteness, as well as able-bodiedness and heterosexuality, the film also explores alternative modes of seeing through the visual medium of cinema.

Sheri Hagen is a Nigerian-German director, screenwriter, actress, and founder of the production company Equality Film GmbH. Born in Lagos, she grew up in Hamburg and has lived and worked in Berlin since the 1990s. After training as a stage actress, Hagen then appeared in numerous film productions and television series, before returning to theater in 2010. Across her career, Hagen has worked on film projects as author, director, and producer. *Auf den zweiten Blick (At Second Glance)* is her debut film as a director. It won awards at the Filmfest Emden-Norderney (2012) and the Kirchen Filmfestival Recklinghausen (2013).

Those who register for the Q&A with Sheri Hagen on 1/29/21 will receive a link and password to view the film *At Second Glance (Auf den zweiten Blick)* between January 18-29, 2021. Register for the discussion at https://myumi.ch/jxo3w.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Livestream / Virtual:Wendell Pierce Stars in Some Old Black Man
2021-01-18 00:00 - 23:00 | Off Campus Location
Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with bold probity rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

In the play, Calvin Jones (Wendell Pierce), a hip, coolly intellectual African-American college professor moves his 82-year-old ailing, but doggedly independent, father, Donald Jones (Charlie Robinson), from Greenwald, MS into his Harlem penthouse. The play begins with an argument over what to eat for breakfast, then turns into a generational clash over race, opportunity, and a decision that Calvin made years ago. Donald’s grumpiness is peppered with disturbing outbursts, revealing bits of his past, informed by growing up Black and poor in the South.

Themes of social justice themes and intergenerational conflict make Some Old Black Man a fitting title for our times, when the reality of more togetherness unveils some of the tensions underlying even the closest of relationships.

The play was filmed in Detroit after the creative team quarantined together during rehearsals in Ann Arbor under strict safety protocols.

After the digital premiere, join the creative team for a live talkback. Production will be available on demand through Monday, January 18.
