FROM
THE DESK OF DR. FIKRE TOLOSSA
Dr.Fikre
Tolossa's feature film, "Multicolored Flowers", a coming
of age drama with comical and satirical overtones and undertones,
will be featured in Los Angeles, California on Sunday July 27, starting
3:00 PM at the Jewish Community Center. If blacks "acted white"
in the past to fit in, now whites "act black" to fit in, in
this movie, which witnesses that times are changing.
In the spirit
of artistic cooperation, in addition to Dr. Fikre Tolossa, the young
film-maker Mekdelawit Tadesse, will present a one hour documentary on
the lives of a few movers and shakers Ethiopians residing in the
United States, entitled, "Immigrants". Moreover, a budding poet,
Asfawossen Alemseged, will premier his latest book entitled, "Tsehay
Tiwotalech" , reciting a few verses out of it. Ethiopians living
in Los Angeles and its surroundings are welcome to feast on this
unusual combination of artistic extravaganza.
