African Arts Film Festival

(Schlafly)

  10:00AM - 3:45PM Enjoy informative and thought-provoking films that illustrate life and culture in parts of Africa. From 10-11:30 a.m. we feature "Sango Malo." A traditional headmaster represents a rigid "Eurocentric" curriculum designed to produce docile colonial administrators. Malo, the radical young teacher, emphasizes the practical skills needed to build a self-reliant rural community. From 2-3:30 we feature "Le Grand Blanc de Lambarene." Cameroonian filmmaker Bassek ba Kobhio provides a fascinating revisionist perspective on Albert Schweitzer, Noble Peace Prize winner and secular saint of the colonial era. This film begins to rewrite the history of colonialism from the point of view of the colonized.

Authors @ Your Library presents: Joe Schwartz

(Carondelet)

  2:00PM - 3:30PM Joe Schwartz returns to discuss and sign his new book, The Veiled Prophet of St. Louis. Schwartz shines a spotlight on the Midwest with stories that are nothing less than remarkable. His dark, gritty, visceral transgressive style is like a sharp punch to the gut, always leaving the reader breathless wanting more. His previous collections, Joe's Black T-Shirt: Short Stories About St. Louis and The Games Men Play, have captivated short story enthusiasts. With his original voice, each story strives to be different from the last, constantly examining the world through the eyes of malcontents, degenerates, sadists, and the disaffected. The Veiled Prophet of St. Louis exposes itself through the ancient art of divinity called Tarot. As the playing cards are dealt the stories reveal the horror and the glory that is commonly overlooked and dismissed as ordinary life. A lifelong resident of St. Louis, Schwartz writes exclusively, and without apology, about the Gateway City, its surrounding regions, and the unique people who call it home. Books for sale.
