| Ina Sotirova |
Who knew that a 1920s Cabaret
Law made dancing illegal in New York City clubs until 2017? Last week we were
treated to a fascinating documentary on this apparently racist legislation by
Kingston-based film-maker Ina Sotirova, ‘freedom2dance’.
We also watched the
beautiful ‘Agwe’, Sotirova’s animated story of a courageous young “moon
priestess”, which was premiered at the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival last
year.
Sotoriva noted that film-making
is at a good place in Jamaica with the support of film commissioner at JAMPRO
Renee Robinson for the ‘Propella’ initiative of the Jamaica Film and Television
Association (JAFTA).
Pardon the brag - but proud of my young cousin Analisa Chapman who Chairs JAFTA!
