FEATURE PRESENTATION: “MELVIN AND JEAN : An American Story”
When Melvin and Jean McNair hijacked a plane from Detroit to Algeria in
1972 to join Eldridge Cleaver and the Black Panthers, they called it an act
of political resistance to racism and the War in Vietnam. The hijacking was
also an act of desperation committed by two people in their early twenties
who saw no other way to escape what they felt was the constant state of
racial oppression in America.
Forty years after the hijacking, Melvin and Jean are model citizens in
France. If they return to the U.S., they could spend the rest of their lives in
prison.
Forty years after the hijacking, Melvin and Jean are still coming to terms
with their crime and its lifelong consequences.
Written and directed by Maia Wechsler Produced by Maia Wechsler Matthieu Belghiti Editor : Sophie Brunet

with great speed and precision. When single-mother Juana
lands a position as a kitchen assistant at Osaka Japanese restaurant, a whole new world of cuisine and culture are discovered,
far-removed from everything she has ever known.
While working in the restaurant’s kitchen, Juana secretly
observes the sushi chefs and eventually teaches herself to
make a multitude of sushi, with a Mexican twist. Her creativity
sparked, Juana’s re-ignited passion for food drives her to want more from her job and her life. But when she is

Director Rocky Collins teams up with Writer and Oakland Native David Lockhart to
make the feature film: “The Lockhart Film.” “Lockhart Film” Stars David Lockhart
in an original suspense thriller. David Lockhart will be present for the screening.
“The Lockhart Film”
Directors: Rocky Collins
Writers: David Lockhart
Producers: Kt Kent, David Lockhart
Key Cast: Vanessa Angel, Anne Lockhart,
Lina Bubisi, David Lockhart
Film Type: Feature Drama Running time: 103 minutes
Jon Lockhart’s normal life is shattered when he discovers an ancient
crystal artifact buried beneath his deceased grandfather’s family golf
course. After intense and dangerous detective work, Jon learns that the
Lockhart family has been hiding the crystal, otherwise known as “the
Heart” from the evil Illuminati for the last 1000 years, since the time of
Robert the Bruce and the
Crusades.
The Crystal Heart contains a scientific code that can generate enough
unlimited, clean energy to power the entire world. Now Jon must find
a way to protect his family’s secret, and the future
energy supply by keeping the Crystal Heart safe from the “Illuminati”
elite who will stop at nothing to find the heart and finally control the
world’s energy supply forever.
“ Anti- Slavery Alphabet “
Directors: Beau Spinks
Producer: Beau Spinks
The Anti-Slavery Alphabet film deals with state of the black slave in the 1840s. The daily life of the
slave started at dawn and ended at sun down. They worked in the cotton fields, the rice swamps, the
tobacco fields, and as skilled masons. The slave labor was the most skilled labor force before the end of
the Civil War. This film examines the hopes and dreams of the slave and the ugly truth of slavery life.
In 1846, abolitionists in Pennsylvania put together an “Anti-Slavery Alphabet” and displayed it at a fair
in the later part of that year. The reaction was positive enough that the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery
Society reported to newspapers that it had proven very popular at the fair.
While it’s unclear who wrote it, the short writing clearly was designed for younger readers, an obvious
effort to help encourage the spread of abolitionism. Fifteen years later, slavery would bring about the
Civil War.
Film type: Documentary Runtime: 7 minutes 19
“Three Men and a Laptop Part II”
The saga continues with four friends looking for love. Lynn, who’s always on her man hunt, convinces
her friends to check out the new hot spot in town where all the ballers hang out in search for love. As
for Leah she still chats with her three men on line hoping to find love. She feels it’s hard to find a man off
line that can love her the way she should be love after going out with Tony Blake. Tia, well she is taking
a break from all her flirting and is spending more time rebuilding her relationship with her husband
Dan. On the other hand Shania is still waiting patiently for God to send her a husband that will love her,
the way a man should love and care for a woman, since Khalil didn’t turn out to be the man of God she
thought he was.

of 1945. 60 years later, diagnosed with pancreas cancer and a year and a

“Ku-jin”
In the summer of 1945, Katsuo Hashimoto applies for the special attack corps.
Raised in a remote mountain village in Chichibu, he has no future and no fear of
death, until he begins to form a friendship with Toshio Abe, who cares for him
like a brother. Overhearing a rumor that an attack would be ordered soon, Katsuo feigns illness, causing Toshio to unexpectedly take his place. Despite the fact
that he has only barely seen her picture, and heard of her from Toshio, Katsuo is
left with the words, “Please, take care of my sister,” as Toshio disappears into the
summer sky.

and Kimberly Bryant, a successful electrical engineer turned founder of Black Girls Code, are organizing large-scale hackathons to
prepare youth to redesign the future through the power of digital coding. Joined on the national stage by #YesWeCode founder Van
Jones, their work represents the cusp of a movement to change both the face and use of technology in America. But is Silicon Valley
ready to be hacked?

The modern mural movement began in the late 1960’s in the
United States in response to the Viet Nam War and other social
movements. Murals as a form of expression quickly spread
throughout the world. Mural historian Timothy Drescher, PhD
states, “Mural painting has become one of the currencies in
which social movements take place.”
Community murals are created to remember the past, to bring communities together for a common
purpose and to speak out about issues of current importance. New York artist Nina Lasky believes that
murals are, ““bringing people together for something bigger than our individual missions.”

“Da Cotton Pick“Da Cotton Pickas” takes a look at sharecropping in the southern states of the US. This system
that followed the enslavement of African Americans yielded an already disenfranchised group
into even more disparity. Through interviews and storytelling, this experience is explored by
way of Bishop Henry C. Williams, an Oakland resident who picked cotton as a sharecropper
for 18 years in Alabama. Also featured is the insight of ‘Hip Hop Historian’ Davey D, bringing
the story full circle with a reflection of the treatment of Blacks in America today.

F R E E, an up-close feature documentary, follows five of the teens in the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company in Oakland, California, as they co-create a piece that asks them to dig deeply
into the motivating dilemmas and hopes of their lives-to tell the truth, even if it hurts, because the
truth will in some degree set them free. Not that the very real challenges before these young people
will simply disappear. Candid discussions of poverty, alienation, HIV status, sexual abuse, and gang
violence arise as dauntingly complex, if not insurmountable, obstacles to happiness. But under the
gentle guidance and support of their Director, Sarah Crowell, the young dancers find release and
acceptance in performing their stories, turning the courage, determination, and stamina demanded
of their lives into a contagious joy.

Healing Magdalene is a 94 minute film intended to generate global awareness about the practice of female genital
mutilation (FGM) in an effort to evoke universal change.
This practice must be eliminated in order for the feminine
to rise to full-capacity, and, thereby, balance the energy
among the genders—an equilibrium essential for humanity to realize its greatest potential. The film challenges the
viewer to ask whether or not our lives are truly significant
and whether or not our actions truly do make a difference.

“Dryden - The Small Town that Changed the Fracking Game”
“The industry kept saying: ‘We have the power; you have none. We are coming. Get out
of the way or leave,’” says Joanne Cipolla-Dennis, recalling what happened when the oil
and gas industry came to her town of Dryden, NY.
But Joanne and her neighbors came up with a plan. This is the true story of people who discovered their shared
strength and turned the tables on a powerful industry.
As fracking bears down on 31 states across the country, this story offers hope and important lessons for communities trying to protect themselves.

phone calls become less frequent and her uncle’s care is not what it seems,

Rene Bartlett, proves to be her only lifeline. As Mackenzie shadows Bartlett
