WHO WILL START ANOTHER FIRE \u2014 Anthology of Short Films by Emerging Filmmakers<\/strong> | Kino Lorber and Dedza Films are proud to announce the DVD and digital release of WHO WILL START ANOTHER FIRE<\/em>, an international short film omnibus showcasing the works of emerging filmmakers from underrepresented communities around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The collection includes nine films, directed by Peier Tracy Shen, Nicole Amani Magabo Kiggundu, Olive Nwosu, Samira Saraya, Faye Ruiz, Lesley Steele, Emily Packer, Alex Westfall, Nicole Otero and Jermaine Manigault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available on <\/strong>DVD<\/a> and Digitally on <\/strong>Kino Now<\/a>August 10, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO WILL START ANOTHER FIRE<\/em> has also been released theatrically by Kino Lorber, beginning its virtual cinema run on June 11, 2021, working with Dedza Films in its aim to present these stories in a way that has been traditionally reserved for feature films, and to showcase the early works of emerging filmmakers from underrepresented communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these stories is personal and distinctly told, but unified by themes of rebirth and growth. These films reject the idea of art for art’s sake and do not exist in self-designed aesthetic vacuums. Their creation represents a necessary reckoning for their makers and so perhaps, too, their viewers. These are growing films by growing filmmakers, made for the future and the past, presented for you to experience for the first time now and again and again afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title WHO WILL START ANOTHER FIRE<\/em> alludes to Malawian poet Jack Mapanje\u2019s Before Chilembwe Tree<\/em> (1981), in which he asks, \u201cWho will start another fire?\u201d By omitting the question mark and retaining his language, we propose an answer to his question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEDZA Scrapbook, an online initiative from aspiring film critics of color who will write about each film, will also be released on August 10, available on DedzaFilms.co<\/a>. The goal of this supplement is to further build a community of emerging talent whose work and discourse can uplift each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO WILL START ANOTHER FIRE \u2014 Anthology of Short Films by Emerging Filmmakers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trailer for the collection was created by 17-year-old editor Clementine Narcisse<\/a> and the anthology’s DVD poster was designed by Dedza head of design Xan Black<\/a>. Watch below!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
