Which Way Is Up? s01e05 — Urban Rashomon + Field Niggas
Description
New York-based photographer Khalik Allah captured his pictures of life on Harlem street corners with analogue cameras. His work is frank, direct, intimate, unflinching and beautiful — no wonder he collaborated with members of the Wu-Tang Clan and contributed to Beyonce’s visual album Lemonade. When Allah turned to filmmaking on video, it opened up radically new temporal and structural possibilities that are often overlooked by filmmaker peers. By basically directing his film in the editing room, and breaching the temporal relation between what you see on the visual track and what you hear on the audio tracks, the films of Khalik Allah become rhythmically complex, but totally captivating works of non-fiction that add expanding dimensions to his work as a street photographer.
Presenting his short film Urban Rashomon (2013) alongside breakthrough film Field Niggas (2015), this double bill showcases the unbridled creativity of one of the most compelling directors working in the world of non-fiction right now. What sets Allah apart from many other directors in the field is his proximity and commitment to the subjects he photographs and films. Always returning to the same Harlem street corners, Allah’s work attains an ethnographic quality. Simultaneously, through his voice-overs, Allah reflects on his own position within the cinematic stories he creates. As such, Allah embraces the possibilities of digital cinema through his non-linear video work, and by doing so, manages to capture the multiplicitous nature of urban life that often doesn’t translate to film.
Title: Urban Rashomon + Field Niggas | Director: Khalik Allah | Year: 2013 & 2015 | Runtime: 21 min & 60 min
About the programme: Which Way Is Up? is a recurring film series curated by film critic Hugo Emmerzael, offering critiques and reflections on our postmodern, late capitalist hellworld through the lens of digital film — from mainstream blockbusters to experimental cinema.

Op een dag staat er midden in het oerwoud zomaar een potje. En naast het potje
ligt een briefje.
‘Op dit potje passen alleen de allerliefste billetjes,’ staat erop geschreven.
Alle dieren proberen het potje uit, maar de billen van de olifant zijn te groot,
de slang heeft helemaal geen billen en de aap weet niet eens wat hij met een
potje moet doen. Terwijl de dieren kibbelen, komt er opeens een jongetje
tevoorschijn en dan beseffen ze voor wie het potje is bedoeld.

Ietje en Fietje zijn twee oude vrouwtjes die samenwonen, waarschijnlijk al hun
hele leven.
Ze hebben niet veel nodig, want ze hebben elkaar en hun fantasie. Hierdoor
belande ze constant in de meest grappige en onsamenhangende situaties waarvan ze
zelf niet weten of het voortkomt uit dementie of uit plezier, maar waardoor ze
zich nooit vervelen en eeuwig jong blijven.
Totdat de buitenwereld plots binnenvalt in de vorm van een brief: “Ietje, Fietje
trek jullie baljurk aan, dan kunnen jullie samen naar het bal toegaan.” Dit
veroorzaakt onrust en heisa in het huis van de vrouwtjes.
Het Kleine Theater bestaat uit Vimala en Anke, allebei actrice. Na jaren te
hebben gewerkt bij diverse theatergezelschappen, en in verschillende
televisieproducties en films te hebben gespeeld, zijn ze in 2011 een eigen
jeugdtheatergezelschap begonnen.
Samen maken ze nu al ruim 10 jaar theater voor jong en oud. Er staan 15
voorstellingen op het repertoire, allemaal met veel humor, mooie muziek en gekke
personages. De voorstellingen zijn gebaseerd op oude verhalen, liedjes of
bekende sprookjes, waar een heel eigen draai aan is gegeven, zodat het niet eng
is voor de kleinste bezoeker, maar ook zeker niet saai voor de oudste.

In the Making #5: Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian, Experiencing Text and Textile. In
this session researchers Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian ask the following
questions: How does light feel on the body? What sort of togetherness is there
in reading text?
They will explore tangible and intangible experiences of voice and textile
light. In their practice, both artists are interested in ways of communicating
aesthetic experience. Procedures of documentation and transmission bring up
questions concerning audience, spectatorship and participation in the art field
and artistic research. We aim to open up for participative thinking and valuing
aesthetic and experiential knowledge of ourselves and others.
Artist and designer Barbro Scholz deals with experiential qualities of tangible
(textiles) and intangible (light) materials, and how their interplay invites for
novel forms of performativity.
Performer and artist Li Lorian is interested in practices of reading text, to
oneself and outloud, voicing and finding new means of commonality. Both of them
have an interest in movement, affect, and entanglement to be investigated in a
playful, participatory, collaborative research. This session is a great
opportunity for them to find ways to share their yet unformulated thoughts in an
experiential method with an audience.

IN THE MAKING
The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art
Institute West Den Haag are pleased to announce their close collaboration in the
new public series ‘In the Making’. In six public sessions they will present to
the public different practices of research in the arts.
Artistic production has always expressed the forms in which we know, explore,
and sense the world we live in. The current practice of research in the arts
consciously assumes this exploration. In the past decades the focus on research
in the domain of the arts has grown – as well as its role in universities and
other research contexts – expressing its engagement with the realities of the
world at large.
‘In The Making’ will address how artists conduct their research. Guest artist
researchers and artist researchers from Leiden University will present their
projects, approaches to research, methods and results. Each session will address
questions inherent to these projects. ‘In The Making’ aims to deepen a
perspective which conceives of artistic practice not as the sole product of
individual visionaries but as a collective endeavor embedded in society. It
addresses the role of art in the construction of the present and the creation of
possible futures.

Art Without Soul? Embodiment and Historical Performance
Modern performance critics often scorn nineteenth-century actors and musicians,
assuming that because they placed emphasis on exaggerated shapes and gestures
they were merely showboating — engaging in empty posturing — rather than
performing from the soul. Treatises of the period, however, suggest that this
visual and sonic hyper-physicality was the means by which these performers
generated, channeled, and communicated emotion; that they understood their art
as originating not from the soul but from the body. Engaging with these
practices today, therefore, is a necessarily embodied rather than abstract,
intellectual endeavor; one that handles the performing body (both past and
present) as a rich, creative resource rather than a soulless distraction.
