Dedza Film Presents: Who Will Start Another Fire

Dedza Films is a new distribution initiative that aims to champion filmmakers from underrepresented communities around the world, beginning with Who Will Start Another Fire , a collection of nine revelatory shorts by emerging filmmakers from Israel, Nigeria, the Philippines, Uganda, and the United States. From child’s-eye portraits of Nigerian ( Family Tree ) and Chinese American ( Like Flying ) girlhood to complex explorations of Black masculinity ( Not Black Enough ) and gentrification ( The Lights Are On, No One’s Home ), these eclectic works touch on questions of politics, history, memory, and culture through innovative storytelling and profound personal insight.
