Letters to the Editor To the Editors: Regarding Shirley Franklin’s query in last issue’s letters section on where else would I expect Clarence and Angel to be shown, a recent week- long run at the Bijou Theater in Atlanta in addition to other similar engagements in numerous cities in the United States and abroad attest to the marketability and availability of Robert Gardner’s film. Where there’s a bill, there’s a way. Furthermore, my statements con cerning Clarence and Angel indicated that it was an “admirable” indepen dent effort, that “this sort of enter tainment is all right for some func tions—like at a PTA meeting or some other gathering of administrators and concerned parents where the blind lead the blind. My point was that an audience at a major independent film festival should not be so led. My argument against Clarence and Angel is not concerned with the skin color of any persons involved in its production, but rather with the film, its content, and the stand taken by its director to defend that content. Black kids or white kids, “sensitive” film maker or bourgeois exploiter, Gardner and his work failed to deal with the most important questions surrounding Clarence’s development. What is wrong with an educational system that employs teachers who are unable to cope with a child’s obvious learning difficulties, kicking him out of the classroom rather than helping him with his problem? Does an ele mentary school need a principal who brandishes a four-foot-long paddle and a demeanor that borders on the sadistic, who frightens rather than enlightens his students? What of the fundamental inequalities surrounding the socio-political structure that fostered the predicament faced by Clarence’s mother: a middle-aged Black woman, an illiterate migrant worker, struggling to survive, while her son must rely on a macho buddy and porno books to acquire his basic reading skills? These are the critical issues Gardner has chosen to ignore, even though his film blatantly exploits their existence. Franklin, too, ignores these issues. By referring to Clarence and Angel as a “rare opportunity” to see a film by and about Blacks, she is pointing out 31 Art Papers September-October 1981
