Kevin Jerome Everson<br />
CINNAMON<br />
(t.l.: Cannella)<br />
Ambientato a Charlottesville, Virginia, il documentario di<br />
Kevin Jerome Everson segue qualcosa di molto originale, il<br />
mondo <strong>del</strong> drag racing. Un film sperimentale con due personaggi<br />
principali afroamericani: Erin, che lavora in banca<br />
e fa la pilota, e John il meccanico. La ragazza cerca sempre<br />
la concentrazione prima <strong>del</strong>la gara, il secondo ripara e<br />
mette la macchina nelle migliori condizioni. Intorno a loro<br />
si muovono i familiari che esprimono la loro passione per<br />
le corse. Il documentario alterna materiale filmato a differenti<br />
media e stili.<br />
“I miei film e lavori artistici sono sensibili ai fenomeni<br />
quotidiani, alle condizioni, alle funzioni e le espressioni<br />
gestuali degli afroamericani. Questi fenomeni, sistemi,<br />
funzioni e espressioni gestuali sono riposizionati attraverso<br />
una varietà di media che vanno dalla fotografia, al film,<br />
alla scultura, al libro d’arte e alla pittura. Ciò che ne risulta<br />
è un riferimento formale alla storia <strong>del</strong>l’arte e a oggetti<br />
e immagini riconducibili alla cultura <strong>del</strong>la classe operaia”.<br />
Kevin Jerome Everson<br />

Set in Charlottesville, Virginia, Kevin Jerome Everson’s documentary<br />
focuses on the very original world of drag racing. The<br />
experimental film has two main, African-American characters:<br />
Erin, who works in a bank and races a car, and John, the mechanic.<br />
Erin is always trying to concentrate before the races, John is<br />
always repairing and improving the car. They are surrounded by<br />
family members who express their passion for racing. The documentary<br />
alternates between filmed material and different mediums<br />
and styles.<br />
“My films and artwork are about responding to daily materials,<br />
conditions, tasks and/or gestures of people of African descent.<br />
These materials, systems, tasks and/or gestures are repositioned<br />
through a variety of mediums such as photography, film, sculpture,<br />
art books and paintings. The results usually have a formal<br />
reference to art history and resemble objects or images seen in<br />
working class culture.”<br />
