The Dryden will screen Harvest: 3,000 Years (Haile Gerima, Ethiopia 1976, 150 min., 16mm).

Haile Gerima's first feature work set in Africa employs visions of his native Ethiopia to construct a post-colonial allegory of class exploitation. Depicting a peasant family toiling under a wealthy feudal landlord, the film blends numerous narrative techniques to create an impassioned work of haunting beauty.
