BERLINALE 2021: THE INHERITANCE, TZAREVNA SCALING, JACK’S RIDE AND WHAT WILL BE OF SUMMER

By Monica Delgado

Some days have passed since the 71st edition of the Berlinale and some films remain as an echo. One of those is The Inheritance by the American Ephraim Asili, which we were able to see in the Forum section. This documentary materializes the idea of ??ubuntu throughout its footage, a concept that refers to an order of community justice, protected by the traditions and thoughts of African people in their resistance to slavery and colonization.

BERLINALE 2021: THE INHERITANCE, TZAREVNA SCALING, JACK’S RIDE Y QUÉ SERÁ DEL VERANO

Por Mónica Delgado

Ya han pasado algunos días de la edición 71° de la Berlinale y algunos films nos van quedando como eco. Uno de esos es The Inheritance del estadounidense Ephraim Asili, que pudimos ver en el marco de la sección Forum. Esta docuficción va materializando a lo largo del metraje la idea del ubuntu, concepto que remite a un orden de justicia comunitario, amparado en tradiciones y pensamientos de los pueblos africanos en su resistencia a la esclavitud y colonización.

By Morella Moret

Ephrain’s Asili’s Fluid Frontiers brings together elements of his intimate relationship with African American struggle, freedom and resistance to tell us the story of the people of Detroit. Through metaphors, poems and sensations, he exemplifies different moments of the long journey of the city and the African-American struggle that lead us to this day.
