She directed and produced the short documentary Freedom Hill based on the town of Princeville Princeville is the oldest town incorporated by freed formerly enslaved people in the United States Freedom Hill captures the emotions of residents trying to decide whether to stay and rebuild or leave after devastating floods threatened to wash the town away into the annals or history "I think we have given you something you have to grapple with but also a poetic love story to Black folks in the country," Cox said Cox has been working on the film since 2016 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License All of EdNC’s content is open source and free to republish Please use the following guidelines when republishing our content Please email Anna Pogarcic at [email protected] if you have any questions I’ve seen magic created inside of classrooms I’ve witnessed time stretch and students see their futures for the first time — watched them realize they hold magic in their minds and helped them harness it This summer I had the pleasure and privilege of leading eight young minds during a four-week documentary camp in Princeville the first and only of its kind in this area I’m not an educator in the traditional sense I am a documentary filmmaker from Kinston who understands the importance of leaving a path for younger generations to follow This is how I practice “sankofa,” a word I learned during my first trip to Ghana in 2016 “go back to the past and bring forward which is useful.” Sankofa is represented as an adinkra symbol drawn as a mythical bird with its feet firmly planted forward and its head turned backwards The Akan tribe believed deeply that the past serves as a guide for planning the future I also believe that the future lives in the present and in the hands and minds of our young people I grew up not too far from Freedom Hill in Kinston so imagine my surprise when I learned that it was the first town chartered by Black Americans in the country at the age of 22 And to add to the shock value of that late discovery my first introduction to Princeville was when it was underwater in 2016 after Hurricane Matthew I was a TV news reporter with NewChannel 12 at the time doing flood coverage while my hometown was also underwater I knew then that Princeville’s story wouldn’t fit within a one-minute news story I knew Princeville’s past required deeper analysis, and if we wanted to know why this part of our state floods at a much higher rate than other parts, then we needed to know the story of Princeville, North Carolina. That is when the idea for my directorial documentary debut, “Freedom Hill,” came to me we filmed the principal photography for the film we premiered the 30-minute documentary at Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham I found myself back in Princeville staring into the eyes of eight young people from eastern North Carolina interested in learning more about environmental racism The inspiration and purpose behind creating this camp was two-fold I believe deeply that true storytelling doesn’t stop at just storytelling I believe true storytelling contributes to the work that is already being done in that community and works toward leaving that community in a better place I knew that I couldn’t release “Freedom Hill” in the traditional way; I knew this community deserved long-term impact work to accompany this film I often say being a TV news reporter taught me how not to tell a story It also showed me how extractive and violent media is to our Black communities I now know that we are the true experts on our stories and I wanted “Freedom Hill” to showcase that I also wanted this film to harness the power of us telling our own stories Thus the Freedom Hill Youth Media Camp was born: a four-week documentary camp teaching Black students in eastern North Carolina how to archive their own experiences and become documentary filmmakers where our production will sponsor families to host intimate screenings of the film in exchange for sizable grocery stipends Most of my students walked into the first day of camp not knowing that becoming a filmmaker was within reach for them; more than half of my students have told me they are now going to pursue a career in film and those who hadn’t even given college a second thought are now actively seeking out media schools to apply to I managed to organize this camp with little to no funding and a very small team (myself and just one other part-time worker on the camp I’ve seen what is possible when you give young people the space and I’ve had parents tell me they’ve never seen their child so engaged with something they were learning It was then that I knew this couldn’t be a one-and-done thing I say we created magic because I did this camp with very limited resources we managed to change the direction of people’s lives Much like our ancestors who landed on disregarded land and built up a home an entire town and community; look at what they did with the limitations I can’t even imagine what they could’ve done without them “You just had to be there.” But for the large  number of you who weren’t here is a reflection from one of our students who served as our director of photography (cinematographer) for “Coming Home,” their cohort’s film “My time working with this media camp has completely shifted my life for the better As soon as I logged into our first Google meeting and met all these teens and mentors I would be working with I knew that this was about to be a big deal for me I remember ending that first call feeling like I needed to strap down because this completely opened a new career choice for me that I’ve never really thought twice about You always know how much goes into a film or production but I didn’t truly realize I wanted to be a part of that crew until this camp and I couldn’t be more grateful that my first filmmaking opportunity was taught by a person like Resita Cox I’ve always known that film was gonna be a part of my life growing up in a house where my mom actively worked on films of her own but Resita was the final little push I needed She’s almost single-handedly opened my eyes to the film industry Waking up early and driving an hour everyday to see my crew was actually a powerful feeling for me and I honestly don’t think I could’ve had a better team for my first film I specifically played the role of the DP or better known as the director of photography which is just a more formal way of saying I was the camera-man in this production I had never touched a video camera before this experience and didn’t have a single piece of knowledge on how to work this equipment I sometimes wish that it was a bigger group just so more people my age could’ve gone through what I have for the past four weeks It’s changing how I view everything in my day-to-day life I am still learning new things every day that tie right back into the media camp and all of my peers for making my life more clear.” Resita Cox is a filmmaker whose work is a poetic portrayal of her community’s irrepressible spirit and resilience in the face of racism but it also prioritizes relationships and is constantly working to reimagine an equitable filmmaking model The local authority in Reșița in western Romania got the technical connection approval for its own 21 MW photovoltaic park / https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode 0 A solar power plant on 30 hectares is set to supply the Municipality of Reșița in western Romania and the local institutions under its helm The city of almost 60,000 people has an ambition to become the first in the country to become energy independent and decarbonize the energy system He revealed the local authority would apply for European funds and that it would need to cofinance the endeavor with EUR 3 million.

​​approximately 3,000 square meters in the city’s industrial park after analyzing different investment locations One of the factors was certainly the support provided by the local administration and reliable support from the AHK team helped us a lot in the decision-making process,” says Veit Schmucker operations manager and project manager at emz which has closely supported many German investment projects in the past and collaborated with local governments has many years of experience in supporting German companies’ investment projects in Romania “Through our consulting activity offered to German investors we have significantly contributed to the creation of thousands of new jobs in Romania in recent years German companies have a total of over 250,000 employees in Romania The bilateral economic relations are very intense through its numerous activities and consulting services that it is the central engine for the further development of bilateral economic relations,” said the general director of AHK through a ceremony organized in the Portile de Fier Power Station the 400 kV Overhead Power Line Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșita The investment project had a total value of 150 million lei the works being executed by the Association ELECTROMONTAJ S.A with the contribution of the consultant GOPA – International Energy Consultants GmbH ROENG T.E.C The design of the line was carried out by the Bucharest Institute of Energy Studies and Design Secretary General of the Government: “The construction of this overhead power line represents a historic moment for Romania in terms of the development of the energy infrastructure We are talking about 117 kilometers of new and partially rehabilitated energy infrastructure This project is not only a remarkable technical achievement but also firm proof that our commitment to innovation and sustainability is permanent The completion of the most complex project in the last 30 years on the energy infrastructure side represents for Romania a symbol of perseverance in the face of technical challenges and an example of close collaboration between the public and private sectors Behind this important achievement are endless hours of work It is the result of a dedicated team of engineers and specialists who put their expertise to bring this project to life It is an important step towards a sustainable future and will increase the ability to connect to the grid for new electricity consumers who want to develop their activities in this area.” President of the Directorate: “The investment we are inaugurating today is only one of those to be completed in the coming years to strengthen energy security in the western part of the country and here we are talking about the entire Banat Axis which will thus close the 400 kV main in the west of the country The benefits of these investments are huge both for Romania’s energy security and for the economic development of the area and local communities Transelectrica’s commitment to investments remains firm and in the sense of the mission we have to fulfill that of guaranteeing the operational safety of the National Electric Power System the network development plan approved for the period 2022-2031 has a value of 1.4 billion euros of which approximately half a billion euros are financing from European funds: the Modernization Fund and REPowerEU” Overhead Power Line 400 kV Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșita is an essential project for closing Romania’s 400 kV ring in the western area and difficult projects carried out in the energy infrastructure from Romania Its route mostly crosses a mountainous area The technical complexity and challenges that the project teams both of the builders and of Transelectrica encountered in the execution process of the works reflect the extraordinary effort of the specialists who contributed to the completion of this line LEA 400 kV Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșita will be operationalized from a commercial point of view with the completion of the construction works of the 400 kV Reșita station estimated in the second semester of this year the new 400 kV Reșița station will also allow the operationalization of the 400 kV Overhead Power Line of Reșița – Pancevo interconnection Taking into account the fact that the Western area of the National Electric Power System faces a deficit in both production and consumption of energy the realization of this investment will make a significant contribution to increasing the performance of the network and the quality of the electricity transport service securing the supply of a consumption of over 1000 MW With the commercial operationalization of LEA 400 kV Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșița will considerably increase the capacity to connect to the grid both for new electricity consumers who want to develop their activities in this area and for the integration of some new sources of energy production thus creating the conditions for a sustainable economic development for the western part of the country Correlated with the construction of the new 400 kV Reșita station LEA 400 kV Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșita will contribute to the consolidation of the energy sector in the Banat region and will facilitate the increase of the interconnection capacity with the ENTSO-E network by 600 MW for the benefit users connected to the network The new Overhead Electric Line 400 kV Portile de Fier – (Anina) – Reșita has a total length of 117 kilometers that crosses the territory of 13 administrative-territorial units from two counties (Mehedinți and Caraș-Severin) and is made up of two sections: a construction new with 259 poles (the Portile de Fier – Anina section) with a length of 81 kilometers (19.5 kilometers on the territory of Mehedinți County and 61.5 kilometers on the territory of Caraș-Severin County) and the modernization of an existing line of 120 poles (Anina – Reșita section) entirely on the territory of Caraș-Severin county Impressive amounts of materials were used to build this line: 3,732 cubic meters of concrete and 267 tons of reinforcement were needed to build the foundations and the RODELTA poles weigh over 3,500 tons of steel A total length of conductor with increased capacity (on the Anina-Reșita section) of 225.8 kilometers was installed the total length of the installed conductor reached 748 kilometers

people are aware of the existing Muzeul Cineastului Amator in Resita when the steel companies would fully bloom in Resita its workers would find time and capabilities to make movies Museum in Resita contains a collection of photo and film cameras I had a chance to speak with museum’s creator Andrei Bălbărău who shared with me more about how it all started for him when opening a museum how his every day in the museum looks like and what does it mean to display and share the experience of amateur filmmakers from back then What first words come to your mind when you hear this word I always have in mind the movie “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” when I think about cinema That was the movie that made me want to visit a cinema projection booth It is one of those movies that show us a small glimpse of what happens behind the silver screen but we donot think about the industry behind it We take for granted what are the years and years of dreaming It all started with finding the place where the films where projected at the university the projection booth of “Cinematograful 23 August” It still had the original 35mm projectors and a 16mm portable projector I did an event regarding the first projections made by Lumiere Brothers event that included a visit to the local cinema (we visit the projection booth) and back then I thought how great it would be to have a museum in that room I was amazed that there is a similar room at the university and that the idea for a museum was eventually supported by university The collection started after the finding of the old projection booth The university accepted the idea of transforming the space into a museum and therefore provided a space for the future collection the projection booth was mostly used for storage 90% of the museum space is used for exhibiting the collection and the remaining rest is the storage area How did you manage to get this whole collection together How did the workers manage to make those films The Cineclub was financed by the factories in Resita corporate had finances for equipment and materials The process was similar to making a film nowadays The sound would be recorded on magnetic tape workers then developed the film and edited it these films had a bit of propaganda in them (imposed by the people from the communist party) but that did not mean that they were bad Being an amateur did not mean you were not good at filmmaking What is your favorite activity or routine at the museum I would say that it is the viewing of the films made by amateur filmmakers on the editing machine There is always a mystery of what might be on a film spool and I always hope that I will find something rare a small glimpse of something that now is missing (an old building never seen on film That also applies when I am scanning 35mm films Do you have any specific plans for the museum in the nearest future Are you planning on having more visits or organizingan exhibition the biggest collection of the museum contains the 16mm and 8mm camera collection which is maybe the largest movie camera collection in Romania It is being displayed at the exhibition only for the Night of Museums I want to make an arrangement in order for entire collection to be seen all the time so I will be able to start working on transformation of current storage room into another exhibition room Every year I am trying to bring something new for the Night of Museums (and sometimes it is not really connected to the world of amateur filmmakers) Since this year Resita it is celebrating 150 years of the first locomotive being built maybe a new exhibition will be held in this field What do you think the visit of this museum can bring up to people Why would it be beneficial to explore it more it is the only museum in Romania that gives the visitors an opportunity to find out the world of amateur filmmakers itis not only about the filmmakers in Resita – it is about amateur filmmakers at a national level an equipment was probably more or less the same it is a small museum that tackles a subject at a national level It could fire a spark in visitors to find out more about the amateur filmmakers from their city I remember you once told me a nice story about finding two pieces of a film… Could you share with us Somebody sent me a 35mm film to find out the content I searched through the films I had and I discovered another roll with… the same film it looked as if the film was split in a similar scene… like where one film ended Just one of those coincidences or signs tell me that I am on the right path
