She Screens: A Woman’s Perspective from Behind the Camera

March is Women’s History Month and IKAM Productions invites you to spend the entire month

looking into the kaleidoscope and use the light of knowledge, character, history and culture as we

celebrate the beauty of women.

Kaleidoscope of Excellence: Women Shaping Our Future is a series of events that include a

health symposium, an inspirational journey of reflection and remembrance, and an

honoring of knowledge will be some of the highlights of Kaleidoscope of Excellence.

Our goal is to recognize and celebrate the woman as a whole in the following areas:

Business, Film, Community, Written Expression and Health/Fitness.

One aspect of the month is called She Screens, a chance to highlight the achievements of women

behind the camera in roles traditionally held by men – director, producer, writer. This special

presentation will feature a screening of the award-winning documentary, Angels Can’t Help But Laugh,

and a discussion with producer/writer, Cas Sigers and some local Atlanta actresses.

The event is FREE.

Date and time: March 29: 1:30 pm – 4pm

Location: Auditorium, Decatur Library, 215 Sycamore St, Decatur, GA30030

1:30Screening: Angels Can’t Help But Laugh

Actress Terri J. Vaughn sits down with 25 of Hollywood’s African-American actresses to discuss how they deal with being in today’s entertainment industry. While media floods unrealistic ideas to the general public about these women, this documentary allows viewers a candid, unscripted exposure into the minds and hearts of these actresses. Ms. Vaughn sincerely removes these women from the characters we know, and reveals the essence of the real women. These actresses open up to talk about their fears, disappointments, successes, families and careers. They drop pretensions about this industry to unfold basic truths about life. This film is star-studded, yet without hair and make-up, one gets a glimpse of reality and the real people underneath the illusion; a rare thing in Hollywood. The state of “Black Hollywood” is in a serious quandary, and these women hold no tongues when discussing their plights and obvious issues that are often quieted. Yet in that same moment of seriousness, each actress is able to relish in the splendor she brings to our television and film screens.

3 pmDiscussion on women in the media with Angels producer, Cas Sigers; former beauty queen and motivational speaker, Bessie Winn; award-winning director, Sharon McGhee and a special guest.

4 pmReception
