English film maker Isaac Julien presents his two films, Looking for Langston and Frantz Fanon: Black Skin, White Mask at Amsterdam's EYE Film Museum. In Looking for Langston, Julien combines authentic archival newsreel footage of Harlem in the 1920s with scripted scenes to produce a non-linear impressionistic story line celebrating black gay identity and desire during the artistic and cultural period known as the Harlem Renaissance in New York. Looking for Langston won the Teddy Award for Best Short Film at the 1989 Berlin International Film Festival. In Frantz Fanon. Black Skin White Mask, Isaac Julien extols the Martinique-born psychoanalyst and activist Franz Fanon as 'one of the most important black intellectuals of the 20th century'. He has made a documentary on the life and work of this influential anti-colonial writer, author of The Wretched of the Earth, by using archive material, interviews with like-minded intellectuals and dramatized scenes.
