And So I Stayed

Wednesday, 24 August 2022 by MONIFF-Admin

In-Person Event: SHOWROOM

2021 | United States| 91 min | Documentary

Director: Daniel A. Nelson, Natalie Pattillo

Producer: Daniel A. Nelson, Natalie Pattillo

AND SO I STAYED is an award-winning documentary by Natalie Pattillo and Daniel A. Nelson about survivors of abuse fighting for their lives and spending years behind bars. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories. Formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while incarcerated, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence.

ANNAH LA JAVANAISE

Friday, 26 August 2022 by MONIFF-Admin

Virtual Showing 

2020 | South Asia, India | 6 min

Director: Fatimah Tobing Rony

In 1893, French artist Paul Gaugin painted the controversial portrait of Annah la Javanaise. To some, it represents a foundational example of post-impressionist art, and to others, it offers an undeniable portrait of Western colonialism. In this short, animated film, scholar and artist Fatimah Tobing Rony (dir. ON CANNIBALISM) reimagines the life of this 13-year-old Javanese girl who was sold by her family to the famous French painter.
