HaFI 018 reprints a document containing the script of Skip Norman\u2019s film On Africa (1970). Norman, born in Baltimore in 1933, had left the U.S. in the early 1960s to study German, theater, and medicine in G\u00f6ttingen. In 1966 he moved to Berlin to join the newly founded German Film and Television Academy (DFFB). By 1969, he had made the films Riffi (1966), Blues People (1968), Cultural Nationalism (1969) and the graduation film Strange Fruit (1969). He shot\u00a0On Africa\u00a0together with Joey Gibbs after graduating from the school. The filmmaker about his film: \u201cThe starting point is the relationship between Europe\u2019s prosperity and Africa\u2019s poverty; Europe\u2019s destruction of societies and cultures, and the simultaneous use of Christianity and racial theories as justification for a massive exploitation of the colonized.\u201d\u00a0On Africa\u00a0was first shown at the Festival in Mannheim in 1970 and then broadcast on television by WDR in 1972.
The script is accompanied by images from the film, and followed by five short commentaries by S\u00f3nia Vaz Borges, Madeleine Bernstorff, Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Gutberlet, Tom Holert, and Volker Pantenburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Heft enth\u00e4lt das Skript f\u00fcr Skip Normans Film On Africa (1970). Norman, 1933 in Baltimore geboren, hatte die USA zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre verlassen, um in G\u00f6ttingen Deutsch, Theaterwissenschaft und Medizin zu studieren. 1966 zog er nach Berlin, um an die neugegr\u00fcndete Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (DFFB) zu wechseln. Bis 1969 entstanden die Filme Riffi (1966), Blues People (1968), Cultural Nationalism (1969) und der Abschlussfilm Strange Fruit (1969).
On Africa entstand gemeinsam mit Joey Gibbs nach Normans DFFB-Abschluss. In Normans Worten: \u201eDer Ausgangspunkt dieses Films ist das Verh\u00e4ltnis zwischen Europas Wohlstand und Afrikas Armut; Europas Zerst\u00f6rung von Gesellschaften und Kulturen, und gleichzeitiger Einsatz von Christentum und Rassentheorien als Rechtfertigung einer gewaltigen Ausbeutung der Kolonialisierten.\u201c On Africa wurde am 7. Oktober 1970 bei der XIX. Internationalen Filmwoche Mannheim in der \u201eInformationsschau\u201c aufgef\u00fchrt; 1972 lief der Film im WDR.
Das Skript wird begleitet von zahlreichen Bildern aus dem Film und kontextualisiert durch f\u00fcnf Kurzessays von S\u00f3nia Vaz Borges, Madeleine Bernstorff, Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Gutberlet, Tom Holert und Volker Pantenburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
